lmsesnors in 2.6 kernel

[Andrew]

I want gkrellm to be able to report CPU temp & fan speed just like I 
have it using hddtemp to report hard drive temps. It says no sensors 
installed, so I googled and found I need lmsensors. I downloaded the 
source for lmsensor, but then I read that it doesn't comile in 2.6 
kernels. Since I can't find any rpm file in red carpet, I tried it 
anyway and followed the instructions, downloaded 2.6 kernel-source and 
got the i686 config file, but it doesn't compile. How do I get lmsensors 
working?
