Is there any way to detect this = possibility before rebboting to single user? Try looking very critically at the system date and time: $ date This check is comparing the system time to the timestamps of the files on disks to try to detect whether your system clock is correct. Since the 'make' program relies on comparing timestamps, you can get very strange results if your system clock is not consistent. You can use the date utility to set the system clock to the approximately correct time (it doesn't need to be very exact). If you have networking, you can use "ntpdate pool.ntp.org" to set the clock from the network. Tim
