[Mailman-Users] mailman install problem - Solaris

[Piniella, David A]

No dice, I tried that with gcc and yacc. Is there any way to just avoid
the Japanese and Korean codecs packages' compilation, or to skip them
entirely? I don't really need to host any lists in Japanese or Korean
(or do these packages do something else?)

Yeah, I realized the problem after I sent my last reply. The problem is
in the 'make install'. The install target runs the install target of
misc/Makefile which in turn runs install-packages which installs the
email, JapaneseCodecs, and KoreanCodecs packages. This install starts by
unzipping and expanding the .tar.gz files containing the packages and
then running the setup.py file from the package. Part of the
KoreanCodecs package requires compilation of C modules.

I think this is where you and other Solaris users run into difficulty.

I'm not really an expert on this, but perhaps if you put a symlink to
your gcc named cc somewhere on your path before running make install,
this will do it.
