HI Stephen.
I feel like a newbie here, but I don't have any docs on this little make 
command string, so I don't know why I'm getting this:
________________________________________________________
crow@amd64:~/lm_sensors-2.10.2$ make -C /lib/modules/2.6.18-3-amd64/build 
SUBDIRS=$PWD  modules
make: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.18-3-amd64'
gcc: etc/config.c: No such file or directory
gcc: no input files
/home/crow/lm_sensors-2.10.2/Makefile:105: *** For 2.6 kernels and later, 
use "make user".  Stop.
make: *** [_module_/home/crow/lm_sensors-2.10.2] Error 2
make: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.18-3-amd64'
crow@amd64:~/lm_sensors-2.10.2$

As you can see I'm in the source directory.
I ran m-a prepare and *make clean* as well.
I sure this will compile with 2.6.18-3?
The docs in lm_sensors say to run make user then make user_install.  But I 
don't want to mess things up by running make user_install as root.
I'm sure I remember running  make as a user before and it compiled a k8temp.ko
Can you Send me your deb of gkrellm, that would be great!
Also, suggest reasons why this is not compiling?
Thanks very much for any ideas....
