Can anyone help me out with this "Clock Skew" error. I have been told to check my bios time and linux time etc to make sure they are correct, they are both correct in date and time but i still cant get rid of this damn error. As i am a newbie to Slackware and Linux could someone explain any commands i could use in bash or the konsole so i cant change the date or the time that way and the system clock.
Any help would be much appreicated :)
Cheers

The problem is that certain files have been modified "in the future".
Doing a for i in $(find . -type f) ; do touch $i ; done should make all the modification times on all the files in the current directory or its subdirectories be the current (as seen by the kernel) date and time.
Where did you get the files that make is trying to compile? Chances are that the clock on that end is off if you're sure yours is correct (and if you're sure your download software knows what time it is).

It can also mean your CMOS battery died and that your clock reset itself to far in the past. Best to check on both ends.
