Description (last modified by khali) (diff)

I seem to be in a catch 22 situation that I can't resolve. I'm trying to build and install lm_sensors on a Gentoo system with kernel 2.6.16 kernel. lm_sensors makes but fails in user-install with error:

m_sensors-2.10.3 # make user-install make: *** No rule to make target linux/i2c-proc.h', needed by kernel/chips/xeontemp.d'. Stop.

Apparently indicating that I need i2c; however when I try and install i2c, I get the following error:

i2c-2.10.2 # make Makefile:70: *** For 2.6 kernels and later, you do not need this package. Stop.

SO, now what do I do? The file i2c-proc is not on the system.

Thanks,

Nitin

It's "make user_install" with an underscore, not a dash.

(Our build system is admittedly confusing.)
