Infinite configure run after executing make

We are on a Centos distribution. Anyway, we have installed python3.8 with easybuild and loaded the corresponding module. Now configue.sh detects the proper python3 environment, but the problem persists!

This is becoming quite frustrating :weary:

OK, I have eventually solved the problem following the instructions found here:

However, I need to do all the steps every time I run ./autogen.sh i.e.

find . -type f | xargs touch

aclocal
autoheader
libtoolize --force --copy
automake --add-missing --copy --foreign
autoconf
./configure
make

Then it compiles properly.

¿Any idea of what can be causing this issue?

Hello,

just FYI, the problem is most surely due to a time mismatch between the nodes and the storage system. What I mean is that the time at which the system says that the files are created does not correspond with the correct time given e.g. by the “date” command.

We will try to fix this mismatch and see whether the compilation problem definitely disappears.

Thanks for your help!
