LM_SENSORS QUICK INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS ------------------------------------------ NOTE: PLEASE SKIM THE INSTALL DOCUMENT, OR BETTER YET READ IT CAREFULLY! The instructions in this document will generally work if you have a standard system, but not always!! Quickstart for i2c option 1 (modules) and lm_sensors option 1 (modules): * Make sure you have the kernel tree corresponding to your current kernel in /usr/src/linux. Distribution kernels usually won't do, compile your own from a 'vanilla' tree (get one from ftp://ftp.kernel/org/pub/linux/kernel/). * Download, build, and install the latest i2c package. This is not necessary if you are using lm_sensors 2.5.5 with a 2.4 kernel. * Do `make'. The warnings about .d files at the start are harmless. If you have compile problems, you probably should not have skipped step 2. Go back and install the latest i2c package. * Do (as root) `make install'. * Do (as root) `depmod -a'. * Add the line /usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf if it is not there yet. * Do (as root) `ldconfig'. * Run (as root) `prog/mkdev/mkdev.sh' to create the device files, unless you already have them or are running devfs. * Run (as root) `prog/detect/sensors-detect' to detect your hardware, put the lines it suggests into /etc/modules.conf and enter the modprobe lines sensors-detect suggests. Add the line `sensors -s' after the modprobe lines. * Reboot, or else type in the modprobe lines and `sensors -s'. * Run `sensors' to see your output. * That's it! If you have problems, read the INSTALL document.
