>Description: The following output occures when using ASH as /bin/sh. Your script seems to rely on non-POSIX features from bash and therefore should be called with #!/bin/bash. This works. -=(~/debian/mysql/ODBC/myodbc2.50.37-2.50.37)$ ./configure creating cache ./config.cache checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c 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!
