The problem was that /usr/local/src/mailman-2.1b2/src/Makefile was placing
the mailman executable (created from mail-wrapper.c) into
/usr/local/bin/mail/ instead of into /usr/local/mailman/mail/. The
relevant lines from the Makefile are:
prefix= /usr/local/mailman
exec_prefix= /usr/local/bin
MAIL_PROGS= mailman
MAILDIR= $(exec_prefix)/mail
for f in $(MAIL_PROGS); \
do \
$(INSTALL_PROGRAM) $$f $(MAILDIR); \
chmod g+s $(MAILDIR)/$$f; \
done
Because I did not set exec_prefix in configure, it defaulted to
/usr/local/bin. I'll need someone wiser than me to tell me whether this
was a bug or a feature and how to permanently fix the problem. (For now,
I'll just copy the file from the directory in which it is placed to the
directory in which it was sought.)
Soliloquizing,
Ellen
