Generated tarball cannot be compiled and installed

[Tyler Burton]

Binary package hint: monodevelop

When deploying a tarball package using either autotools make or simple make the resulting package cannot be installed. For example if you run "./configure" the following error gets thrown:

...
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: error: cannot find input file: `[project name]/[project name].in'

which quits the configure process.

I am using Karmic and MonoDevelop 2.0
