Not that I know of. Given I'm still very much a rookie when it comes to 
Linux, its most likely that the problem existed behind my keyboard.

Looking in /usr/lib I notice only one library: libsensors.a (which is 
from Sept 12th/05 ... marking it as being from v2.9.1)

Looking in /usr/local/lib reveals 4 files (all of which dated Jan 9th/06):
libsensors.a
libsensors.so ... which is a link to libsensors.so.3
libsensors.so.3 .... which is a link to libsensors.so.3.0.9
libsensors.so.3.0.9

Should I just copy the libsensors.a and libsensors.so.3.0.9 into /usr/lib ?

Any potential for error if the the wrong library is being read?

Thanks, Steven
