I2c (cvs upload) compile problem.

[Philip Pokorny]

You probably have a linux/version.h in the kernel tree that is setup to do 
modversions for multiple versions of the kernel based on /boot/versions.h. 
Red Hat does the same thing.

The code in the Makefile that greps version.h gets confused when it finds 
multiple 'UTS_RELEASE' definitions.

I would recommend that you compile with:

     make MODPREF=/lib/modules/$(uname -r) install

If you want to completely replace the distro lm_sensors files, you should also 
set "PREFIX=/usr" on the command line.  Otherwise, be sure that you set 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH before you run the new sensors command so that it picks up the 
library from /usr/local/lib not /usr/lib/

    make MODPREF=/lib/modules/$(uname -r) PREFIX=/usr install

:v)
