I've downloaded the distribution and tried running configure. Here's
the error messages.

I don't understand this comment.
My system administrator has set up the directory structure as follows:
bash$ cd /home/
bash$ ls -ldg mailman
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 13 Jun 3 18:51 mailman -> /bolt/mailman
bash$
The web server is running on bolt so the /bold/mailman directory is
visible on that system. The mail server runs on sparky and sparky
uses some Solaris automouter magic to make /home/mailman appear as
a directory, but /bolt/mailman doesn't appear.
I'll ask if I can get the /home/mailman directory to be changed to
ownership by mailman and put in group mailman. For now it is owned by
root and in group wheel.
