You added update-libglade to the EXTRA_DIST variable, which is a non 
existant file (nor any rules to build it, or reasons to include it in 
the tarball).  When doing a make distcheck, it tried to copy the file to 
the distdir, but failed, which caused the failure.

In order to make a tarball for the alpha2 release, it was easiest to 
simply remove the rules causing the problems.

Is there any reason not to simply run "make" before "make dist"?
