config.status: error: invalid argument: config.h

Question

I am trying to compile a program that does short read alignment using De Bruijn graphs, IDBA v.0.19.

After extracting the package, I am instructed to run configure and then make. The configure goes fine, but when I run make, it gives me this:

clemuser@ubuntu:~/Desktop/idba-0.19$ make
cd . && /bin/bash ./config.status config.h
config.status: error: invalid argument: config.h
make: *** [stamp-h1] Error 1

I have autoconf completely up to date, on 11.10, 64 bit. Any idea what the problem with config.h is? It is definitely in the directory and looks OK to me.
