Hello,

When i try to compile openmpi-1.2.6.tar.bz2 on my computer with ifort Compilier.My system is Red Hat4.6 86x64.But some mistakes happen when the process of configuring.Mistakes as follows:

$./configure --prefix=~/haowp/opt/openmpi FC=ifort F90=ifort

.........

......

*** GNU libltdl setup
configure: OMPI configuring in opal/libltdl
configure: running /bin/sh './configure' '--prefix=/stg/s1p1/users/yuanjm/haowp/opt/openmpi' 'FC=ifort' 'F90=ifort' --enable-ltdl-convenience --disable-ltdl-install --enable-shared --disable-static --cache-file=/dev/null --srcdir=.
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
configure: /bin/sh './configure' *failed* for opal/libltdl
configure: error: Failed to build GNU libltdl. This usually means that something
is incorrectly setup with your environment. There may be useful information in
opal/libltdl/config.log. You can also disable GNU libltdl (which will disable
dynamic shared object loading) by configuring with --disable-dlopen.

$vi /opml/libltdl/config.log

## ----------- ##
## confdefs.h. ##
## ----------- ##

#define PACKAGE_NAME "libltdl"
#define PACKAGE_TARNAME "libltdl"
#define PACKAGE_VERSION "2.1a"
#define PACKAGE_STRING "libltdl 2.1a"
#define PACKAGE_BUGREPORT "bug-libtool@gnu.org"

configure: exit 1

Thank you for your attention.Hope your reply.
