Well, yes, at least it has not been setup that way.

You could try copying the Makefile.in in contrib/MatlabInterface/src 
into Makefile and do modification as they would usually be done by 
configure, i.e., replace all the @...@ by something that suits to your 
Ipopt and Matlab installation.
This could be cumbersome an it is usually easier to just re-configure Ipopt.

Further, to have Ipopt work properly under Matlab, certain configuration 
options (e.g., --enable-static) should to be set when configuring the 
Ipopt build. This is done with the MatlabInterface.site file. It may be, 
that your existing Ipopt build is not suited for use under Matlab.

Finally, note that precompiled Ipopt/Matlab binaries are available at 
http://www.coin-or.org/download/binary/Ipopt
