To build lm-sensors from source, you either need to (1) build and install sysfsutils from source, or (2) install a package that includes libsysfs headers. Option #2 is easiest. On Ubuntu, the package you need is libsysfs-dev. Install that, then back to lm-sensors... 'make clean' and 'make user' and 'make user_install' should do it. Also, don't worry about the "grep: ... No such file or directory" warnings. That is mentioned in the FAQ: http://www2.lm-sensors.nu/~lm78/cvs/lm_sensors2/doc/lm_sensors-FAQ.html Regards, -- Mark M. Hoffman mhoffman at lightlink.com
