Hi, Ok, 20 seconds after I completed the email, after the email helped alot by just going through everything, I went through the FAQ for the billionth time and saw the thing about old libraries. So I deleted the old libraries in /usr/bin and now the /usr/local/bin/sensors works! Well, at least runs. My question remains about the measurements themselves. Gotta remember that RH8 may have an install of what I want to install. Sorry for that part of the message. Thanks!
