Maybe they changed this symlink in severn but I very much doubt it. The only other thing I notice is that you have gcc 3.3, right? Did you build this yourself? RedHat doesn't provide it yet. * * * * * * * * * * Step by step i2c & lm_sensors 2.8.0 on RH9 (derived from my earlier message: http://archives.andrew.net.au/lm-sensors/msg02553.html): 1) Install the appropriate kernel-source RPM. Copy the config file that matches your kernel into its proper place, something like this: $ cp /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-9/configs/kernel-2.4.20-i686.config \ /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-9/.config 2) Do *not* do anything else in that tree. Don't "make clean", don't "make dep", nothing. That screws it all up. Uninstall & reinstall the RPM if you must. NOTE: from here on, I assume you're already running the kernel that matches the config above. That does make it easier. 3) There is no step 3 anymore ;) 4) Now build & install I2C. NOTE: If you're using the same tree which failed to build earlier, please do a "make clean" first. 5) Now build & install lm_sensors2; same note as above. 6) Run sensors-detect, etc. That's it! At i2c/sensors 2.8.0 things got much easier for RH users. The only difference from plain vanilla is that you have to remember to put that config file in place if you use RH kernels.
