It means that you forgot to run "ldconfig" after installing. (Before doing that, you may have to add the line "/usr/local/lib" to /etc/ld.so.conf, if it's not already there). > My computer still boots but it just does not start GNOME. Oh, great. It's less awful than I first feared. > Where do I have to look for the startup script of lm-sensors? In > /etc/rc.d? If sensors-detect did not finished its installation, then the startup script is probably not installed. Just check in /etc/sysconfig if you can see any "lm_sensors" file. If there is one, delete it. Maybe there's a script brought by your distribution itself. You should look for it in /etc/rc.d. The exact location depends on the distribution, so I can't tell. Why Gnome doesn't start anymore, that I can't say. Do you have any hardware monitoring application? (Gkrellm maybe?) Maybe it's trying to load some modules and fails. -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
