[Mailman-Users] problems with new install

[Jeff Poretsky]

should i just give up and re-install from scratch?
the message from check_perms is

[root at reweb1]# ./check_perms
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "./check_perms", line 50, in ?
    MAILMAN_GRPNAME = grp.getgrgid(MAILMAN_GID)[0]
TypeError: illegal argument type for built-in operation


This is on a RedHat 7.1, kernel 2.4.9-31

Thanks
