OK, for giggles, I updated python to 2.5 from 2.3.5, and now configure does this:
checking for group name "mailman"...

See yesterday's take on this in the thread >at ><http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2007-January/055498.html>. I *think* the attached patch to misc/Makefile will solve the problem. Here's the procedure: After running 'configure' apply the attached patch to misc/Makefile. Then if you have a pythonlib/korean directory in your installation ($prefix) directory left over from previous attempts, remove it. Then 'make install' should give you a working installation. This installed version of the Korean codecs will not have the compiled C language modules, but if you aren't actually using Korean, the Python modules will be good enough - the only difference is performance. Let us know how it works out. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
