Sure. First I grabbed the 2.5.0 tarballs. There are spec files included to
be able to build RPMs, but for some reason I couldn't get things to work
using this so I setup and installed from the sources without going through
the packaging of RPM.
First thing I built were the I2C headers. The INSTALL file is pretty okay.
I went for the "Completely separate from kernel" method of installing.
After the I2C headers got installed I went on to the lm_sensors package
itself. Again the INSTALL file was pretty much all I needed to read up on.
The documentation reminds users that kernel source must be available for
whatever kernel version you are running on your machine.
I used the 'sensors-detect' program to figure out what compatible hardware
I have. It also tells me what to add to /etc/conf.modules and the startup
scripts (I put them in /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit).
Then I run what I should've run on startup (same lines I put in
rc.sysinit) and the modules are properly loaded. Running 'sensors' gives
me the output I posted on the list. I've tried setting up
graph-lm_sensors, but I've had problems because I don't have the Perl DBI
for MySQL (or something like that) installed. Perhaps when I have the time
and the motivation I'll create a PHP alternative, unless of course someone
already has one, in which case "URL please". :-)
BTW, if you haven't tried v2.5.0 I'd recommend you do. I tried previous
versions and they used to all go boink on me. This is the first I've got
up and running. :)
Good luck!
