[XeTeX] Problem building XeTeX on Ubuntu 8.04

[Stephen Moye]

I have a new installation of Ubuntu 8.04 using VMware Fusion (v1.1.2). I can get XeTeX (from svn source) to build, but there is a problem at the very end:

### Making xetex binary using: 'cd Work/texk/web2c && /usr/bin/make web2cdir=/usr/share/texmf/web2c xetex'
make: *** No rule to make target `xetex'.  Stop.
### failed to build the xetex binary
sgmoye at sgmoye-desktop:~/xetex$ 

What have I done that I shouldn''t, or, not done that I should've?

Thanks for any assistance.
