I have downloaded tp_smapi module for my Thinkpad T500 using the steps in ThinkWiki and ran make. it encountered no errors

But when i tried to view the status of the battery using tlp, it shows as not loaded/installed:
root@Forge:/storage/Repository/git/tp_smapi# tlp-stat -b
--- TLP 0.7 --------------------------------------------
+++ ThinkPad Extended Battery Functions
tp-smapi = inactive (kernel module 'tp_smapi' load error)
tpacpi-bat = inactive (unsupported hardware)
+++ Battery Status
/sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/manufacturer = SONY
/sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/model_name = 92P1141
/sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/cycle_count = (not supported)
/sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/energy_full_design = 56160 [mWh]
/sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/energy_full = 39310 [mWh]

/sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/power_now = 0 [mW]
/sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/status = Full
I have followed the steps provided on the sites to the best of my knowledge, but am unsure as to why the module is not installed.
- OS: Xubuntu 15.04 LTS
- Module code: tp_smapi-GitHub
- Kernel: 3.19.0-18-generic (x86-64)
