1 The cpufrequtils package (homepage:

3 consists of the following elements:
8 On x86 pciutils is needed at runtime (-lpci).
9 For compilation pciutils-devel (pci/pci.h) and a gcc version
10 providing cpuid.h is needed.
11 For both it's not explicitly checked for (yet).
17 "libcpufreq" is a library which offers a unified access method for userspace
18 tools and programs to the cpufreq core and drivers in the Linux kernel. This
19 allows for code reduction in userspace tools, a clean implementation of
20 the interaction to the cpufreq core, and support for both the sysfs and proc
21 interfaces [depending on configuration, see below].
24 compilation and installation
25 ----------------------------
31 should suffice on most systems. It builds default libcpufreq,
32 cpufreq-set and cpufreq-info files and installs them in /usr/lib and
33 /usr/bin, respectively. If you want to set up the paths differently and/or
34 want to configure the package to your specific needs, you need to open
35 "Makefile" with an editor of your choice and edit the block marked
