28 This error means that your /usr/src/linux symlink points to unconfigured
29 kernel sources. Many, if not all, external packages that compile against
30 the kernel have this requirement.
31
32 You don't have to make (compile) or install the kernel *right now*
33 (although you will obviously want to do that asap), but you do have to
34 run some type of config (make menuconfig, make xconfig, whatever) and
35 save a configuration with proper support for the sensors before
36 lm_sensors will compile the modules.
