Since I don't really understand what happens there, and you probably don't need isadump, let's simply skip it. Edit the Makefile, look for that line: SRCDIRS += lib prog/sensors prog/dump prog/detect ${PROG_EXTRA:%=prog/%} etc and remove the prog/dump directory: SRCDIRS += lib prog/sensors prog/detect ${PROG_EXTRA:%=prog/%} etc If it works for you, at least, you'll be able to use lm_sensors. -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
