Compilation error when I run Bash configuration command
Hi,

I downloaded source code file from The GNU website and changed the source code of ls.c file, added printf command to it. It worked fine. Then, I deleted the printf command, saved the file and ran the command 'make sudo && make install' closed the terminal and printf statement went away.

I tried to repeat above steps but this time when I added printf statement and run 'Bash configuration' command, it gave me this error:

Code:
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/local/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 cloc
alias in your environment
configure: error: newly cre</pre>

I tried fixing it with touch command - Touch configuration. It did not work.

Thanks for your help in advance!
Akanksha

NAME

       bashbug - report a bug in bash

SYNOPSIS

       bashbug [--help] [--version] [bug-report-email-addresses]

DESCRIPTION

       bashbug is a utility for reporting bugs in Bash to the maintainers.

       bashbug will start up your preferred editor with a preformatted bug report template for you to fill in. Save the file and quit the editor
       once you have completed the missing fields.  bashbug will notify you of any problems with the report and ask for confirmation before
       sending it. By default the bug report is mailed to both the GNU developers and the Debian Bash maintainers. The recipients can be changed
       by giving a comma separated list of bug-report-email-addresses.

       If you invoke bashbug by accident, just quit your editor. You will always be asked for confirmation before a bug report is sent.

OPTIONS

       --help
	      Show a brief usage message and exit.

       --version
	      Show the version of bashbug and exit.

       bug-report-email-addresses
	      Comma separated list of recipients' email addresses. By default the report is mailed to both the GNU developers and the Debian Bash
	      maintainers.

ENVIRONMENT

       DEFEDITOR
	      Editor to use for editing the bug report.

       EDITOR
	      Editor to use for editing the bug report (overridden by DEFEDITOR).
