configure should have replaced the things @PID_DIR@, @CONFIG_DIR@, @LOCK_DIR@, @QUEUE_DIR@ and @LOG_DIR@ with actual paths. I think you need to provide options like --with-pid-dir=/var/run/mailman/ -- with-config-dir=/etc/mailman --with-lock-dir=/var/lock/mailman --with-queue-dir=/var/spool/mailman --with-log-dir=/var/log/mailman in addition to --prefix=/usr/lib/mailman and --with-var-prefix=/var/lib/mailman > I am guessing I can't just overwrite the 2.1.15 version with this > version using 'make install'.

If you get it properly configured, you can just install it using make install and it should work. OTOH, you could just configure, make and install stock 2.1.34 and then migrate the data, but you will then have permission issues if SELinux is enabled. If you do proceed with the former approach, let us know the steps. I.e., apply the mailman-FHS.patch and fix issues with that; run configure with options ..., and anything else. With that info, I will create a FAQ for RHEL/CentOS analogous to the Debian/Ubuntu one at <https://wiki.list.org/x/17891606>. Actually, I'm starting to work ion that now. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B. Dylan
