That explains what happens, but not what you are trying to do, and why
you are trying to do it.  Each of these things could be the underlying
cause for error, or a number of others.  So please explain your setup,
show the Makefile.am snippets leading up to the above, show the command
line that causes this error, plus all of its output.  Then we may be in
a much better position to help you.
