I also got the error on ubuntu 11.10 when run make distcheck

libvirt$ make distcheck

{ test ! -d "libvirt-0.9.6" || { find "libvirt-0.9.6" -type d ! -perm 
-200 -exec chmod u+w {} ';' && rm -fr "libvirt-0.9.6"; }; }
test -d "libvirt-0.9.6" || mkdir "libvirt-0.9.6"
cp: cannot stat `./NEWS': No such file or directory
make: *** [distdir] Error 1
