I'm using FreeBSD 5.0. When i try to compile a source, i obtain the message below:

loading 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!
Check your system clock

Any idea how can i solve it?
 
Did you do what the error requested? Check your system clock? Do you accidentally have it set to 2002 or something like that?

If not, give more details. Can you manually run ls -t? What are you trying to compile? etc...
