PATH is for binaries, not libs. (You should have noticed that all the other strings in PATH end with /bin, not /lib.) The /usr/local/lib directory is probably not used by your system, we have to teach it it should ;) As root, edit /etc/ls.so.conf and add one line that says: "/usr/local/lib". Save, quit and run "ldconfig". Now sensors should work. BTW, lm_sensors's "make install" should have detected this, and has probably warned you, and told you to just what I told you to do. Didn't you pay attention at that time? -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
