lm_sensors on RHEL 3.0

I'm trying to get lm_sensors to work on RHEL AS 3.0. Apparently I have
lm_sensors 2.6.5 installed, but whenever I type 'sensors' I'm told to
'modprobe i2c-proc'. Well, the only file that locate finds is i2c-proc.c.
Okay, so I find the lm_sensors docs, and they say to install i2c (which is
weird, because I seem to have the source files for i2c installed...) so I
find the /usr/src/linux-2.4.21-20.EL/drivers/i2c directory. I go there,
but when I try running 'make', I get an error that I fix by setting TOPDIR
and exporting.
Now I can compile i2c.o. Whooah. Except that when I try to do a 'make
install', I get another error about how there's no 'install target'.
I'm rapidly running into a brick wall. Is RedHat installing packages that
don't work? If so, why? Or am I just that lost? (which I wouldn't put
past me these days.)
This is a production server, so I don't want to do much more without some
guidance. Anybody have sensors working? I'd really like to check on
temps and such.
Thanks!
Ben
