Compiling lm_sensors 2.6.5

[Robert L. Cochran]

Has anyone tried compiling lm_sensors version 2.6.5 on an 8.0 system? The INSTALL document is a little hard to understand. I'm confused by the compilation options listed and the suggestion that I download a vanilla kernel tree from kernel.org rather than use a distro kernel tree (such as the Red Hat kernel, I suppose.)

Thanks
