Hi Khem,

Thanks for the reply. I did solve this issue (I could have sworn I 
posted a follow up email) and it was a hard coded link in the package. 
Cpufrequtils is vastly dated and it was just a dependency that something 
else was bringing in so I didn't really care for it. In the end I 
symlinked my install binary to where it expected it and that allowed me 
to build.

For the record the new kid on the block in this area is called 
'cpupower' it builds on cpufrequtils and brings it up to date (last 
cpufrequtils commit was sometime in 2009 if I remember correctly!) and 
is much better. If anyone is attempting to use cpufrequtils I would 
recommend checking it out instead.

Regards,
