[sleuthkit-users] Newbie question on installation

[Eagle I. S. <in...@ea...>]

Hello,

I am new to Linux and new to TASK.

I installed Suse Linux 8.1 this evening, and was able to untar both
task-1.60 and autopsy-1.70.  Incidentally, I unpacked these into
a folder on my Desktop (KDE) - not sure if that matters.

Anyway, I navigated to the task folder and ran make (per
instructions).

The log file, pretty much just shows filed being copied across, and
does not
show any errors.

I go to do the same with Autopsy, and it asks for the location of
"TASK"

Here's the stupid question:

Where is TASK? there's no such file on my system. and when I point the
install to the task-1.60 directory it turns its nose up at the
thought.

There's obviously something I'm missing here...

Thank you in advance for any help - I'm excited to start work with
TASK.
