Look like a python installation problem rather than a Mailman specific problem. The python interpreter is saying it cannot correctly load the standard python socket module.hello all,i am trying to do a new install of Mailman 2.1 on a Solaris 7 x86 box, gcc 2.95.2, Python 2.2.2, sendmail. I get the following error while runnig the ./configure script: <snip> hecking for mail wrapper group; i.e. --with-mail-gid... mail checking for CGI wrapper group; i.e. --with-cgi-gid... httpd checking for CGI extensions... no checking for --with-mailhost... no checking for --with-urlhost... no Traceback (most recent call last): File "conftest.py", line 2, in ? from socket import * File "/usr/local/lib/python2.2/socket.py", line 41, in ? from _socket import * ImportError: No module named _socket checking for default mail host name...

You can confirm this hypothesis by running python from the command line as follows:
mailman@mailman:/> python
Python 2.2.2 (#2, Jan 13 2003, 17:17:19)
[GCC 2.95.3 20010315 (SuSE)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import socket
>>>
If instead of the prompt you get an error message in response to import socket input, then it is definitely a python installation problem. Try again with Mailman after you have fixed the python problem.
checking for default URL host component... Can't open conftest.out
checking for strerror... yes
checking for setregid... yes
checking for syslog... yes

trying to do a make install gives me the following error:

does anyone have an idea of what could that be ?
thank you for your time!
