Hi Steve,

could you try to 
- remove the subdirectory that has been build by the non-successful attempts
- call a make dist in the base directory of the project

That should work in all cases. If it really doesn't, please tell us which 
version you're using and if it is a KDE app that is using an /admin 
subdirectory. We surely can fix those errors just with replacing that /admin 
directory in most cases.

A make distclean in the project directory and creating a tarball (e.g.easily 
with mc) does the trick as well, though not automatically, but lets you 
distribute your project.
