[Mailman-Users] no binaries for 2.0.13 install

So I'm trying to install 2.0.13 on a RedHat 7.2 system.

The Python programs all seem to build okay, but the ones gcc is supposed to 
make don't and gcc seems to be working okay for other things.

The prefix/mail directory is empty...

I searched the archives, found one fellow that was having a similar 
problem, he told me to go to 
http://www.dsvr.co.uk/support_documentation/E-Mail/Mailing_Lists/mailman.html

and use the instructions there.

They say to

./configure options
make
make install

instead of

./configure options
make install

They didn't yield any different results.

I've tried running this as root and as the user mailman (and switching 
these are various states along the install process).

Details below.

I would REALLY appreciate any help with this.  I'm not sure what to even 
try next.  Thanks!

I use this ./configure line...

./configure  --with-mail-gid=12 --with-cgi-gid=apache 
--with-python=/usr/bin/python2.1

I get this output
