Hi -- I'm trying to install Mailman on a Mandrake 10.1 system. I have new
installations of Python 2.3.4 and GCC 3.4.2 both compiled from source -- no
rpms. When I run the configure script I get the error quoted below. This
occurs even as root, so I don't think it's a permission problem. I've done
everything I can think of but can't resolve the issue. Can anybody give me
some guidance on how to troubleshoot this one (I'm not a programmer)?
Thanks very much.
Give it the path to the python executable, not to the lib directory.
