[Mailman-Users] a few questions (fwd)

Whoops, I meant to cc the list on this - hopefully, it
will help someone searching in the archives at a later
time, too.  :)

A 'good' landing is one from which you can walk away. A 'great'
landing is one after which they can use the plane again.

Hey Justin,

	From your script output:


make[1]: Entering directory `/home/mailman/mailman-2.0.8/src'
gcc -c -I. -DPREFIX="\"/home/mailman\"" -DPYTHON="\"/usr/bin/python\""

                 from common.h:27,
                 from ./common.c:20:
/usr/include/bits/errno.h:25: linux/errno.h: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [common.o] Error 1


You'll notice that this error came when it entered the directory
'src', where the mail-wrapper.c file lives.  Hence, it didn't
build _anything_ in that directory.  Hence, no wrapper.  :(

Now, to fix it...  On one of my linux boxen, I did a 'locate
errno.h'.  It appears in '/usr/include/errno.h', and from the
output of 'rpm -qf /usr/include/errno.h':

hostname (user)% rpm -qf /usr/include/errno.h
glibc-devel-2.1.3-15

You need to install the glibc-devel package, and I bet it
will work perfectly.  :)  You _are_ running on linux, if
I remember correctly?

HTH!
