If you're truly building "by hand" you're missing an essential step here, maybe two. Assuming you're cd'd to your build directory, make clean ./configure ... --with-mail-gid=nobody ... etc. make; make install I'm not entirely sure of the difference between the --with-groupname and --with-group-gid, both of which accept a name but have different functions. I do know that for my server distribution (gentoo Linux) it's essential that the environment setting which controls the --with-mail-gid configuration setting match the mail group which the MTA runs as. I've run into this problem often when I've upgraded Mailman and if I forget to make this adjustment I get exactly the same error, and the fix is the same every time. In my case my MTA runs as group "mail" and Mailman has to be configured thusly. -- Lindsay Haisley | "Humor will get you through times of no humor FMP Computer Services | better than no humor will get you through 512-259-1190 | times of humor." http://www.fmp.com | - Butch Hancock ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
