When I am trying to do a ./configure I get the following error

checking whether build environment is sane... configure: error: newly created file is older than distributed files!
Check Your Clock!!


I am still pretty new Can anyone shed some light on what this would be happening?

It's happening because of timezones. 1.2 RC2 was just released a few hours ago and your system thinks it comes from the future.

For a workaround, try "touch configure" or just wait a few hours (a few depends on your timezone). Note that you might get some errors later on if you do the touch thing, I think the make step checks for the same thing as well.

When I hit a wall in Linux I seem to hit every single brick in that wall

I managed to get the software configured then when I first ran make it gave me a time error again and went into a loop and just kept retrying. I cancelled the make and then I changed the time to 3 days ahead...All seemed glorius until I hit another huge brick. I received the following error: See Below..

I hate bugging but this one has me absolutely stumped Has anyone ever encountered such an error? It doesn't look like a dependency problem to me but I could be wrong.

Happens to me to, it's just an annoying gcc warning you can ignore.
