You need to be root when running "make install".  In Ubuntu, I believe
you need to use "sudo make install".  Or su to root and run make
install.

That would be because Autopsy depends on Sleuthkit.  It needs the TSK
tools to actually run.  Until you have Sleuthkit properly installed, you
wont' be able to install Autopsy.  Run the TSK install as root (the
configure and compile as a regular user is fine...), and you should be
good to go.

Hope this helps,

Barry
