There's a good FAQ

I have a FC5 and what i do to set up lm_sensors is:

1.Install *libsysfs* to avoid compile error when "make user"
2.Install lm_sensors use "make clean && make user && make user_install"
3.run sensors-detect, press enter for all question :)
4."service lm_sensors start"
5."sensors"

And it works.
