a make clean should fix your issues (or distclean?) 
there are no references now to moabuse , except the folder itself + files, which should be fine

| I just did but the error persists. I'm at -r5820.


| You did not update the configure script to remove references to

| moabuse and hence it still fails. You will have to update config_files

| in config.status and any other references to these files in the

| configure script. Also, you can add the header and sources to the

| installation by adding them part of AM_INSTALL or some other variable.

| So please revert the *.in for sources.


| Autotools is a small learning curve. These are easy mistakes to fix

| and so no worries.


| Best,

| Vijay
