also seg faults (I downloaded the package assuming it would be newer, it wasn't)

it seems it is something in the sysfs that is causing the crash. I tried 
to build sensors with debuging but all gdb would tell me was the seg 
fault was in : Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 
0x00002af197a9deaf in sensors_read_one_sysfs_chip () from 
/usr/local/lib/libsensors.so.3 I havn't got it to tell me the exact line 
where its crashing (yet).
