Re: /usr/include/bits/local_lim.h:36: linux/limits.h: Permission denied (SOLVED, please read!)
("Permission denied" from #include <limits.h>, because that tries to
include <linux/limits.h> which winds up coming from
/usr/local/include/linux with wrong permissions.)

I'm not quite sure I believe that; the machine I have that uses
lm-sensors doesn't have that directory. What does 'dpkg -S
/usr/local/include/linux' have? Is the directory an actual directory
or a symlink to your kernel source tree?

Using kernel-package and following the directions in
/usr/share/doc/lm-sensors-source/README.Debian; you don't need root
proper (though you do need fakeroot to build packages) until you're
getting around to installing packages. How did you do it?
