You made just make user_install correct to lm_sensors package downloaded from us? (no gentoo package, maybe try the gentoo package instead) If I undestand correctly you are using gentoo kernel. We had always trouble with gentoo people and we cant support their kernel version. huh very strange message "permission denied" Only thing I can advice is: 1) install "vanilla" - original linux kernel 2) install lm_sensors from our web site (make user_install) 3) make sure you dont have any old library in /usr/lib/ (delete all libsensor*) Again I'm sorry we cannot support gentoo modified kernels now. Try to find some gentoo forum for help. Regards Rudolf
