[Mailman-Users] Problem with check_perms script

[Bill Honneus (honneus)]

Hi,
 
I am trying to perform the check installation step in the Mailman
Installation Guide.  I am receiving an error when I run the check_perms
script from within my installation folder.
 
[root at 157226-mail mailman-2.1.10]# bin/check_perms
-bash: bin/check_perms: @PYTHON@: bad interpreter: No such file or
directory

I installed Python 2.4.4 and it seems to be in the path as I can execute
this version correctly.  The Mailman installation also seems to have run
fine and I followed all the instructions prior to this step.  
 
I can't seem to find the line in the check_perms script that is failing
either as the shell does not report a line number.
 
Please offer some advice for areas to troubleshoot as I am not all that
familiar with Mailman and am not a linux guru either.
 
Thanks in advance!
 
Bill
