I did this originally, but it did not in fact user_install any new code! I had to install the executables with mc, over-writing the sensors, sensors-detect and such files. And, interesting is that while sensors-detect reports that its generated an .init file to be copied to /etc/rc.d/init.d/lm_sensors, it has never touched the lm_sensors.init file that comes out of the archive. IMO, something is totally fubar (and I've nuked the srcdir and unpacked that lm_sensors-2.8.2 archive and re-run this several times now)

gkrellm-2.1.24 is running right now, and the builtins/sensors/info tab reports "No sensors detected." at the top of the window. Everything else, including the ups watcher is running just fine. Is there some way I can get some debugging info out of gkrellm when started from a cli?
