Having problems installing mailman 2.1 on a Solaris 8 Ultra 10 machine using GCC
3.2.1 and python 2.2.2
I'm installing as mailman, and the configure dies with (see more below):
mailman> ./configure --prefix=/users/mailman --with-python=/usr/local/bin/python
--with-cgi-gid=65534 --with-mail-gid=1
creating cache ./config.cache
checking for --with-python... /usr/local/bin/python

checking for user name "mailman"... Traceback (most recent call last):
File "conftest.py", line 1, in ?
import pwd
ImportError: No module named pwd
cat: conftest.out: No such file or directory
configure: error:
***** No "mailman" user found!
***** Your system must have a "mailman" user defined
***** (usually in your /etc/passwd file). Please see the INSTALL
***** file for details.
========================================================
As you can see below, mailman DOES exist (I'm logged in as mailman).
mailman> grep mailman /etc/passwd
mailman:x:10:44:mailadm LOCAL:/users/mailman:/bin/csh
mailman> whoami
How can I get past this error? Is it a python error? If so, what would you
suggest I do get the build to find the correct pwd module?
Thanks!
