sensors error with shared libraries (Examined/Solved - sensors: 2.5.0 linux 2.3.9 (SMP))

[contact]

Im a linux newbie:)...I built a gaming server and now i need to figure out

linux...ive been using linux for about a week now and today for about 8 hours i

tried to get lm_sensors working...of course i failed...i came pretty close but

i failed:)

Today..i learned to install a new kernel...which i did its now 2.39 (smp btw on

bp6 mobo)...i learned how to umm...

damn that was a pathetic 8 hours:)

anyways...

for a while "make install" wouldnt work...

till i read some other tickets..and changed COMPILE_KERNEL to 0...then it worked

now...

if i run sensors i get the error...

"sensors: error in loading shared libraries: libsensors.so.1: cannon open

shared object file: No such file or directory"

man oh man its been a long day and to think i came about |---| this close:)

thx for any help you can give...

oh and plz explain with great detail...i have no fruckin clue whats going on:)

PS..i read on of the other tickets with the libsensors.so.0 problem and i didnt

really understand the anwser or how to even think about resolving it --- "make install" put libsensors.so.1 in the correct directory,

after that you need to run (as root) "ldconfig -v".

Make sure that "ldconfig -v" lists libsensors.so.1 as one

of the libraries it found.

If it does, you are in luck and things should work.

If you need more help, followup by sending mail to

sensors@… and referencing ticket #322.
