This probably was not clear because I omitted an important but somewhat 
hidden fact, /usr/local/mailman is the default installation directory.

Had you typed "./configure --help" you would have seen this:

Installation directories:
  --prefix=PREFIX         install architecture-independent files in PREFIX
                          [/usr/local/mailman]

You could override the prefix or have picked another build area, but the
two should not be identical because they will collide.
