Please help! Getting python errors running mailman after an apache install.

[Steve Rifkin]

Hi!  We've recently upgraded Apache on our webserver to version 1.3.27.
Since then, our web interface to mailman (2.08)  has stopped running.
The current error we're seeing is python related (we're running python
2.2.2 -- we rebuilt python again just to make sure there wasn't a
problem with python).  The errors from mailman are below.

The main error is:

admin(7162): ImportError: ld.so.1: /usr/local/bin/python: fatal:
/usr/local/lib/python2.2/lib-dynload/_socket.so: bad ELF flags value:
256

And I have no idea what that python-related error is.

Note that things worked before the apache upgrade, but now mailman is
complaining about python.

If anyone has any info regarding  this error (or the errors below), can
you please e-mail me directly in addition to your post on this
newsgroup?  Thanks so much in advance!    Steve      steve410 at cs.jhu.edu
