Was the above 'cd $prefix' actually 'cd /usr/local/mailman'? Because
the next step is telling you  that /usr/local/mailman is not group
mailman and/or not g+ws.

This isn't the problem here, but you may wish to specify some options
to configure such as --with-cgi-gid=, --with-mail-gid=,
--with-mailhost= and --with-urlhost=

Indicating that 'chgrp mailman .' above was not run in the
/usr/local/mailman directory.

You must fix the above and rerun configure. Then you can run 'make
install'

You have to run /usr/local/mailman/bin/check_perms which won't exist
until you get the proper ownership and permissions on
/usr/local/mailman and successfully run configure and make install.
