[Mailman-Users] mailman 2.1.11 install problem

[CJ Keist]

Just solved it!!  When we were installing a separate piece of software, 
namely Teralis Helpdesk package, we were forced to upgrade all packages 
from blastwave.org.  This upgraded  python to 2.5.1 which I guess is not 
supported with mailman yet?  Anyway I found that there is a older 
version of python, 2.3.3 in /usr/sfw/bin.  So set that in in my 
configure line:

./configure --prefix=/userM/mail-services/mailman2 
--with-python=/usr/sfw/bin/python --with-cgi-gid=15

make
make install
went through!!!!
