This usually means that time stamps have been messed up, either in the tarball or while extracting it. What system and file system are you doing this on, and did you pull the tarball from http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/automake/automake-1.10.2.tar.gz ? Running ./bootstrap is a way around this, but it is so far not shipped with distribution tarballs, only in the git source tree, as the tarball should not need it. Cheers, Ralf
