I know its old, but you shouldnt be running splunk as root.
Install as a splunk user. Then if this issue arises, do.
As Root:
chown -R splukuser:splunkuser /opt/splunk/
Then as splunkuser
$ splunk start

one note I forgot to say... if you have splunk user in your system it'd be better to use "sudo -u splunk ..." to run under this user
before this command probably you will need to run "sudo chown -R splunk:splunk /opt/splunk" to change the owner from root to splunk

Thank you, Vladimir! I had the same problem with unability to create "/opt/splunk/etc/licenses/enterprise", your advice to use "sudo ./splunk start" helped!

You might start at http://www.splunk.com/base/Documentation/latest/Installation/InstallonLinux followed by http://www.splunk.com/base/Documentation/latest/Installation/StartSplunkforthefirsttime
BTW, you do know Splunk is available in .deb package format, which Ubuntu can natively install being a derivative of debian?
