Well, nothing has changed in configure, neither in this patch nor the last.
Are you sure both you and configure are looking at the *same* directory ?
Configure complained to me, too, but legitimately, as the installation
directory was not mode 02755. doing a 'chmod 02755 /usr/local/mailman' fixed
it just fine, for me.

PS: Try not to quote the entire message next time. Your message included
Barry's whole message, including the patch he attached. 

PPS: I had a tremendous time at IPC9 as well. Meeting Barry finally put a
voice and a speech pattern (not to mention height and build ;) to all his
emails. At least now I can tell when he's joking or not :)
