failure during build - Tpo file not found

[Jared Nance]

Hello-
Sorry if this is an obvious or previously answered problem, but I am  
having trouble building a library using automake and I am stuck trying  
to resolve it.  This is my first time using Autotools, but I have been  
lured by the fact that I do my development on a mac, my legwork on a  
cluster, and I am at the point where I need to distribute my code to  
collaborators and wish to make my life as easy as possible when it  
comes to working in a varying build environment.  So, the problem:

When I do a 'make', I get the following output:

[maxwell] ~/Code/git_repos/ta_autotools/trackanalysis ~ make
make  all-recursive
Making all in src
make[2]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
Making all in lib
/bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CXX   --mode=compile g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. - 
I..  -L/usr/local/root/Current/lib/root -I/usr/local/root/Current/ 
include/root -lCore -lRIO -lTree -lcint -lPhysics -I/src/stlplus -I/ 
include -L/lib -lRATEvent_Darwin-g++   -g -O2 -MT libTrackAnalysis_la- 
dictTOP.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/libTrackAnalysis_la-dictTOP.Tpo -c -o  
libTrackAnalysis_la-dictTOP.lo `test -f 'dictTOP.C' || echo  
'./'`dictTOP.C
mv -f .deps/libTrackAnalysis_la-dictTOP.Tpo .deps/libTrackAnalysis_la- 
dictTOP.Plo
mv: rename .deps/libTrackAnalysis_la-dictTOP.Tpo to .deps/ 
libTrackAnalysis_la-dictTOP.Plo: No such file or directory
make[2]: *** [libTrackAnalysis_la-dictTOP.lo] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2

My makefile.am's look like:
##Top directory
[maxwell] ~/Code/git_repos/ta_autotools/trackanalysis ~ cat Makefile.am
SUBDIRS=lib
[maxwell] ~/Code/git_repos/ta_autotools/trackanalysis ~ cat lib/ 
Makefile.am
dictTOP.C:
	rootcint ./dictTOP.C -c -p ../include/TrackedOpticalPhoton.hpp ../ 
include/LinkDef.h

lib_LTLIBRARIES=libTrackAnalysis.la
libTrackAnalysis_la_SOURCES= dictTOP.C dictTOP.h src/ 
TrackedOpticalPhoton.cpp
libTrackAnalysis_la_CPPFLAGS= -L$(ROOTSYS)/lib/root -I$(ROOTSYS)/ 
include/root -lCore -lRIO -lTree -lcint -lPhysics -I$(RATROOT)/src/ 
stlplus -I$(RATROOT)/include -L$(RATROOT)/lib -lRATEvent_Darwin-g++

It's not just out of its mind:
[maxwell] ~/Code/git_repos/ta_autotools/trackanalysis/lib ~ ls .deps
libTrackAnalysis_la-TrackedOpticalPhoton.Plo	libTrackAnalysis_la- 
dictTOP.Plo

I thought maybe the issue was dependency tracking (mainly because I  
wasn't sure where else to turn).  ./configure --disable-dependency- 
tracking && make returns simply a very similar error.  The output from  
configure:

Any information you can shed or advice you can give would be most  
helpful.  Thanks very much in advance!
