NOTE: PLEASE SKIM THE INSTALL DOCUMENT, OR BETTER YET READ IT CAREFULLY!
The instructions in this document will only work if you have a standard
system, and may cause problems.
Quickstart:
* 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/).
* Install the i2c package. This won't do any harm, even if use a very
recent 2.3 or 2.4 kernel, though it may be unnecessary. At the very
least, make sure you have i2c-algo-bit either compiled into your
kernel or available as a module somewhere.
* Do a `make' followed by a `make install'. The warnings about .d
files at the start are harmless.
* Add the line
path=/lib/modules/current/extra
to /etc/conf.modules or /etc/modules.conf (whichever one exists)
if it is not there yet. Depending on your version of modutils,
you may have to add all default paths to it too.
* Do a `depmod -a'.
* Add the line
/usr/local/lib
to /etc/ld.so.conf if it is not there yet.
* Do a `ldconfig'.
* Run `prog/mkdev/mkdev.sh' to create the device files
* Run `prog/detect/sensors-detect' to detect your hardware, put
the lines it suggests into /etc/conf.modules or /etc/modules.conf
(whichever one exists) and enter the modprobe lines it suggests.
* Run `sensors' to see your output.
* That's all folks!
