This is because the structure of the git repository changed.
The Bibledit-Gtk code has been moved one level deeper. The pages
http://sites.google.com/site/bibledit/community/development?pli=1 have
just been updated. Main thing is the extra 'cd gtk':

cd bibledit 
git reset --hard
git pull
cd gtk
./configure
make
sudo make install

Yes, the changes are all in the git repository.

It's going on well. It's a lot of work to do it properly. The first
release will be with limited USFM editing capabilities, and
full-featured consultation notes.
