Strange Make Error

[Federico Galdenzi via Tech-talk <tech-talk at aps.anl.gov>]

Dear Community,

I'm trying to learn EPICS and i started following a pretty simple 
example from Maurizio Monti, stream device exercises. I wanted to create 
a simple EPICS application that controls VPS. However, after setting up 
everything, I get into this error.
make[3]: Attenzione: il file 
"/home/xlabsrv11/epics/configure/RULES_COMMON" ha un orario di modifica 
209019432 nel futuro
Creating dbd file hvps_example.dbd

make: *** [/home/xlabsrv11/epics/configure/RULES_DIRS:85:

The "make[3]: warning" translates to " the file ../../.. has a different 
modification time 209019432 in the future".
Can you help me?

ps: as a side note, i'd like to know if you can suggest me some 
resources for learning epics. I'm kinda lost sometimes.
