Makes sense. The only reason I started thinking down that road, was I was trying to figure out why the libsensors.so link did not exist, and I supposed (without checking the specfile of the rpm mind you) that it did not exist because whoever build the rpm was trying to force you to at least specify verision 1 of the library. I was probably thinking amiss. Thanks...james
