From: http://www.sleuthkit.org/informer/sleuthkit-informer-21.txt

"The srch_strings tool is from the GNU binutils package..."
Comment 2 David Greenberg 2007-06-26 12:55:45 UTC 
This will work around the problem:

# ln -s /usr/bin/srch_strings /usr/bin/sstrings
Comment 3 Raphael Marichez (Falco) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-08-29 14:43:54 UTC 
That's mostly an upstream issue IMHO, it is because of changes in sleuthkit. And it is fixed in newer versions of autopsy which are ~arched in Portage. You can either make a symlink, or upgrade autopsy.
