[root@lsanca2-ar29-4-62-240-041 wesnoth-0.8]# ./configure
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... configure: error: newly created file is older than distributed files!
Check your system clock

Do what it tells you: Check your system clock ;)

It may be that your computer thinks that the time and date is before today, and the files you downloaded were created in the future acording to your computer.

I hope this helps
