As Stephen said, you should be doing "sudo make install" then entering your account password when requested: that should do it
But one thing I will mention. Installing from source is often not necessary. You should run Synaptic Package Manager (System -> Administration) in the first instance and see whether the software you require is actually in the Ubuntu repositories. There are a couple of advantages to this: the install is guaranteed to be successful with just a couple of clicks; and Ubuntu will know that you have the thing installed and you will be informed if important updates are available automatically.
