hello,
I am trying to build various pieces of open source software that use
configure scripts. I execute the script, and it gives the following output:
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!
Check your system clock
./configure: line 70: 15277 Segmentation fault sed -n
"s/^\\([_$as_cr_alnum]*_cv_[_$as_cr_alnum]*\\)=\\(.*\\)/\\1=\\2/p"
It has given these errors for all of the configure scripts I have
successfully run. I am using NTP with time.redhat.com as my server, so I
am pretty sure that the problem is not that the time is wrong (In fact,
for one piece of software the last modification time was august 2005.)
When I run ls -t, it appears to work, e.g. it organizes the files based
on the modification time given by ls -l. I was wondering if anyone knew
of a fix for this problem, or something else that I can do.

I am using pretty much a completely untouched install, having only
successfully added apt-RPM, sbcl, and firefox-ppc.
I am also haing trouble with modules utilities. lsmod, insmod, rmmod,
and modprobe do not appear to exist. neither do ifconfig, ifup, or
ifdown. I was wondering if there are specific packages that I need to
install to have those utilities.
thanks,
nicholas
