Apache on Ubuntu 10.04 Problem

Hello all :) I'm trying to get Apache up and running on my computer (which uses the Ubuntu 10.04 OS). I've been doing this under the guidance of Apache's own documentation (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/install.html) and so far I've managed fairly well. However, when I get close to the very end of the operation - typing "make install" into the terminal so Apache can create the appropriate directories etc., it says "permission denied" for creating all the appropriate directories and at the end says "Error 1". So my question is: "How do I grant Apache permission to create these directories?". Thanks in advance for any help offered.
 
Have you tried sudo

Also you can easily install apache by typing "sudo apt-get install apache2"
