Yep I can. What distribution are you using? Debian? Fedora? Suse? ..?

Yes you will need to uninstall the package called "lm-sensors" or libsensors3 
the make user_install stuff is "outside" your packaging system. Ie it is same as 
you would just copy some software to your disk drive. And because you want that 
newer version without installer (no package) you  need to uninstall the package 
first. In short:

Because now you have installed two in the system. One sensors detect you have in 
/usr/sbin/sensors-detect and other you have in (the new one) /usr/local/sbin

Try to issue following command:

/usr/local/sbin/sensors-detect

Well this is a bit tricky to do. First I need to know what distribution you are 
using. Compiling new kernel image is certainly not task for beginners, but we 
may try.
