You're the man! In the README.BSD file. Wow. Glad to make your acquaintance.


I did that already, but I'm still having trouble. I cannot get it to install from the mailman-2.1.1 directory at all.

Question: I am told NOT to do it as root, yet I'm getting permission violations up the ying-yang when I run ./configure. /usr/local/mailman is configured as it says in the INSTALL doc; it's owned by "mailman" (both) and the permissions are drwxrwxsr-x. Yet it won't install.

Granted, I don't fully understand all the setuid/setgid stuff with the tiny s in there and all that.

My temptation is just to go ahead and install as root, but the instructions say specifically NOT to.

And this still doesn't address that Make doesn't understand "install."
