It's failing somewhere in the automake backend in gnome-build. The error
dialog is shown in anjuta2/plugins/project-manager/project-tool.c:183.
You should be able to trace that error back all the way to gnome-build.
The perl script that loads the project is run (as you can see from the
output in the terminal). The bug is somewhere after that i guess. The
weird thing is also that it only happens occasionally. I've had it
happen 3 or four times in a row, but sometimes also the opposite: it
didn't have for a couple of days.

This is one of those bugs which has a minor impact and as such can wait
:)
