Quoting from the Archives:
======
I've had this exact same problem installing mailman on solaris. The
problem is in getting python configured properly. Make sure
LD_LIBRARY_PATH points to all the right places, including wherever the
SSL
libraries live, and you may have to hack the Modules/Setup file in the
python build directory so the appropriate modules are built and
installed.
Also check out the README file, the section labeled "Configuring
additional built-in modules."
Good luck!
