[Mailman-Users] Help with Mailman-2.1.2

[Ebrahim Hartley]

Hi all

I am new to the mailman environment.

I started the installation as indicated in INSTALL, e.g

in ROOT, I did the following

Created the mailman user and group

did a        cd $prefix
                chgrp mailman .
                chmod a+rx,g+ws .

In mailman I did the following


    cd mailman-2.1.2
    ./configure

The following message appears

"checking permisions on /usr/local/mailman... configure error:"
"***** Installation directory /usr/local/mailman is not configured
properly!"
"Set-gid bit must be set for directory: /usr/local/mailman"

Can anyone help.

What is it that I am doing wrong


Regards

Brain Hartley
