I people.. i'm follow a tuturial to install the lm-sensors but when i do make in the lm-sensors directory :

marco@Linux:~/lm_sensors-2.7.0$ make
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -DMODULE -DEXPORT_SYMTAB -fomit-frame-pointer -I. -Ikernel/include -I/usr/src/linux/include -I/usr/src/linux/include -O2 -c kernel/busses/i2c-ipmb.c -o kernel/busses/i2c-ipmb.o
kernel/busses/i2c-ipmb.c:56: error: `I2C_ALGO_IPMB' undeclared here (not in a function)
kernel/busses/i2c-ipmb.c:56: error: initializer element is not constant
kernel/busses/i2c-ipmb.c:56: error: (near initialization for `i2c_ipmb_algorithm.id')
make: *** [kernel/busses/i2c-ipmb.o] Error 1
marco@Linux:~/lm_sensors-2.7.0$

anyone know?

Are you using a 2.4 kernel? If you are, you need to install i2c-2.7.0 before installing lm_sensors-2.7.0



If you're using a 2.6 kernel, lm_sensors-2.7.0 is not recommended. Choose the version you need according to lm_sensors kernel info
2.6 kernel already has i2c included

tks mdg..

yes, i use kernel 2.4.26...

i do make and make install on i2c-2.7.0 but the problem is the same.. make: *** [kernel/busses/i2c-ipmb.o] Error 1

You might not have your kernel-source installed. Go to a terminal and type "uname -r", then check if you have a full kernel tree in /lib/modules/(result of uname -r)/build

You should see (amongst others):
arch
crypto
Documentation
drivers
fs

If not, you'll need to download and install your kernel-source

thanks again.. i'll do that

I am having this same problem. I checked my /lib/modules/2.4.26/build directory and it contains all directories mentioned above. What else could I look at?

right
