Try running "make install" before trying modprobe. This particular makefile

Thanks Chris. Running "make install" solved the problem. (I now have motivation to read some "make" documentation and tutorials).

Sadly, it looks like I won't be able to get sensors data.

Description of problem:
it87 module loading fails, prevents sensors from being available on my machine.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.29.1-102.fc11.x86_64

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. modprobe it87

Actual results:
