[lm-sensors] Query on compilation of lm_sensors

[Prabhu, HarshadX]

Hi ,
 
 I am using lm_sensors to communicate to some devices on SMBus.
 I tried to compile the "lm_sensors-2.9.1" and "i2c-2.9.1". But in one
of our board which has Redhat RHEL 3.0.
 The compilation is continuously going into infinite mode. I think it is
recursively compiling the same stuff.
 I was not able to install the i2c 2.9.1 also.
 
 Has anyone faced the problem of continuous compilation (infinitely the
same thing) of i2c and lm-sensors.
 Please provide pointers if anyone knows it.

Thanks
Harshad

PS: I am new to this list and this is the first message I am posting.

Check your system date. What you describe is typical of systems where the
system date is set way in the past.

are you using an SRPM, or a pull from CVS, or what ?

btw, w/o a cut-paste of errs, we're guessing blind (ie, im not even 
guessing)
