issue trying to do make check on Ubuntu 8.10 desktop

[Will Fiveash]

While I can build the latest MITKC krb source in a VirtualBox running
Ubuntu 8.10 desktop I'm seeing errors like the following when running
make check:

Using ../../../../migrate_bugfix/src/lib/rpc/unit-test/config/unix.exp as tool-and-target-specific interface file.

and so on...

Any thoughts as to why this is happening?  I'm guessing there's a
compatibility issue between the native expect/Tcl and what the tests
require but that's just a guess.  If someone has successfully run make
check on such a system and could provide the list of installed packages
I'd appreciate that.
