OK, I see what's happening. You do have I2C enabled in your current
kernel, *built-in* (CONFIG_I2C=y), don't you?

INSTALL says:
Your I2C support must NOT be built-in your kernel already!
It must either be disabled or enabled as modules.

We don't prevent i2c from compiling in this case for very specific
cases, but it generally won't work, because then lm_sensors has to use
your kernel i2c headers, which are out of date.

If I'm right, you'll have to rebuild a kernel with either I2C as a
module or disabled, and then i2c and lm_sensors will install properly.
