Hi -- I'm trying to install Mailman on a Mandrake 10.1 system. I have new installations of Python 2.3.4 and GCC 3.4.2 both compiled from source -- no rpms. When I run the configure script I get the error quoted below. This occurs even as root, so I don't think it's a permission problem. I've done everything I can think of but can't resolve the issue. Can anybody give me some guidance on how to troubleshoot this one (I'm not a programmer)? Thanks very much.
