sheesh - I'm checking out for the night after this.

when you install source, it installs in /usr/src/redhat

but STOP - before you mess with any of this...

just type (as root)

sensors-detect
(or if you don't have root environment.../usr/sbin/sensors-detect
)

and see what happens - did you follow those instructions? 

I cannot believe that compiling from the source is gonna be any
different that what you have already installed - unless you modify the
source and you can't even find it.
