[Haskell-beginners] can't make distribution, requires rerunning ./configure

Downloading the platform, it says it needs to have ghc already installed.
 Am I really the only one hitting this issue?

It's erroring out here...

ifeq "$(findstring clean,$(MAKECMDGOALS))" ""
include mk/config.mk
ifeq "$(ProjectVersion)" ""
$(error Please run ./configure first)
endif
endif

But I don't where this ProjectVersion is being set...

> grep ProjectVersion *
ghc.mk:ifeq "$(ProjectVersion)" ""
ghc.mk:SRC_DIST_BASE_NAME = ghc-$(ProjectVersion)
ghc.mk:SRC_DIST_GHC_NAME          = ghc-$(ProjectVersion)-src
ghc.mk:SRC_DIST_TESTSUITE_NAME    = ghc-$(ProjectVersion)-testsuite
ghc.mk: echo $(ProjectVersion) >VERSION
ghc.mk: tar tjf $(SRC_DIST_GHC_TARBALL) | sed "s|^ghc-$(ProjectVersion)/||"
| sort >sdist-manifest
ghc.mk:SRC_CC_OPTS += -D__GLASGOW_HASKELL__=$(ProjectVersionInt)
Makefile:ifeq "$(ProjectVersion)" ""
