Mailman expects it CGI scripts to be run under a particular gid. It 
looks as though when MM was configured and installed on your system it 
was not told to expect its CGI scripts to be run with the gid 'apache' 
and this is what MM's CGI wrapper has found at run time. Presumably 
this is the value of the Group directive in your Apache installations 
httpd.conf file.

Solution: try doing what the error message tells you; stop mailmanctl, 
run configure, run make install and start mailmanctl.
