I'm having a problem compiling programs that use a configure script (which is most programs). When I run a configure script, I receive this error: checking whether build environment is sane... configure: error: ls -t appears to fail. Make sure there is not a broken alias in your environment configure: error: newly created file is older than distributed files! Check your system clock There are NO aliases in my environment (I unalias -a to be sure) and my clock is correct. ls -t appears to work as it should, listing the most recently modified files first. For example, conftestfile is the file the configure script creates to test whether ls -t is working, then it seems to essentially execute this command: $ ls -t configure conftestfile conftestfile configure This seems to work as it should, listing conftestfile first. So, my question is, does anyone have an idea what else could be causing the problem?
