Assuming that you have downloaded the latest version of LIGGGHTS using git you can get Version 2.3.8 by entering the following in a terminal on your LIGGGHTS folder:
git checkout f2ee5a05fa14b3fcdb0884b6ea39a2add13bbbe7
Afterwards you should do a
make clean-all
before compiling the source.

Depending on the simulation it would be advisable to move to a newer version of LIGGGHTS as 2.3.8 is nearly 3 years old and misses a lot of bug fixes.
