[Mailman-Users] conftest.py: Permission denied/

[Jarkko Laine]

Hi,

I get the following message when I'm trying to do configure:

<clip>

[mailman at kepardi mailman-2.0.8]$ ./configure --with-mail-gid=postfix
--with-cgi-gid=48
./configure: confdefs.h: Permission denied
loading cache ./config.cache
checking for --with-python... no
checking for python... (cached) /usr/bin/python
checking Python interpreter... /usr/bin/python
checking Python version... ./configure: conftest.py: Permission denied
/usr/bin/python: can't open file 'conftest.py'
cat: conftest.out: No such file or directory
configure: error:

***** /usr/bin/python is too old (or broken)
***** Python 1.5.2 or newer is required

</clip>


With root access everything goes well, but installing instructions
specifically tell not to do configure with user root. I've done everything
before that according to the instructions and therefore I think mailman
login should have all the permissions it needs, but it doesn's seem to be
so.

Grateful for any help,
Jarkko
