Understanding the problems, or at least describing them here, would go a
long way. (which instructions were used?)
With Debian, it should be a simple matter of "sudo apt-get install
packagename" but that certainly isn't the case for Mailman!
OK, it's installed. You still have to _configure_ it. (did apt-get not
_install_ mailman? It certainly won't configure the packages, nor should it.)
Note that once you have the source code, only two commands are required to
_install_ mailman2- ./configure and make.
see https://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-install/index.html section 3
Now I'm looking for an alternative way to run mailing lists. Can anyone
suggest either a good alternative, or a way to get Mailman 3 to install?
Get off debian, use postfix & apache, and install MM2 or MM3. I've installed
MM2 from source multiple times on FreeBSD* and had it available in probably
under an hour.
*postfix and apache already installed and running
