[Mailman-Users] Installing Mailman Fails

[Rich Shepard]

   I want to install Mailman here to replace majordomo for a few mail lists.
My system includes postfix-2.5.2 and httpd-2.2.12, as well as the latest
Mailman version downloaded at the end of last week.

   With the source in /usr/local/mailman I ran './configure
--with-mail-gid=postdrop --with-cgi-gid=apache' followed by 'make'. However,
when I tried 'make install' (as root) I get this:

   ...
/bin/ginstall: ./test_membership.py' and
/usr/local/mailman/tests/test_membership.py' are the same file
/bin/ginstall: ./test_message.py' and
/usr/local/mailman/tests/test_message.py' are the same file
/bin/ginstall: ./test_runners.py' and
/usr/local/mailman/tests/test_runners.py' are the same file
/bin/ginstall: ./test_safedict.py' and
/usr/local/mailman/tests/test_safedict.py' are the same file
/bin/ginstall: ./test_security_mgr.py' and
/usr/local/mailman/tests/test_security_mgr.py' are the same file
/bin/ginstall: ./test_smtp.py' and /usr/local/mailman/tests/test_smtp.py'
are the same file
/bin/ginstall: ./testall.py' and /usr/local/mailman/tests/testall.py' are
the same file
/bin/ginstall: ./EmailBase.py' and /usr/local/mailman/tests/EmailBase.py'
are the same file
/bin/ginstall: ./TestBase.py' and /usr/local/mailman/tests/TestBase.py' are
the same file
make[1]: *** [install] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory /usr/local/mailman/tests'
make: *** [doinstall] Error 2

    What do I do differently so the application installs?
