program Installation problem..
 

Hi,
i am a new linux user, i am using slackware 11.0.
i tried to install a program and the message i got is this:

**************************************************
root@ai#3:~/Desktop/glib-1.2.10# ./configure
creating cache ./config.cache
checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/ginstall -c
checking whether build environment is sane... configure: error: newly created file is older than distributed files!
Check your system clock
root@ai#3:~/Desktop/glib-1.2.10#
*********************************************

i got a similar message from installing other programs, but i thought that it is a problem in the downloaded file, but i got the same message by installing another program.

Any help for this problam please.

Well I have to ask, have you set the date and time on the clock since install?

yes i did,
is that a problem?

Well, I have installed slackware on a three computers and this has never come up. Good luck.

Thank u Binary000,
i checked my machine time, it was 2000,
i used the following command to update my machine time:

$ netdate xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx


in the x's, i put the ip of my ISP's DNS, it worked well.
