Hank,
I'm still not succeeding in building Mailman. I'd like to follow
another path. Can you explain why Tcl/TK don't build? The Python make
install command fatals there, and doesn't complete copying some of the
modules into the right places.

Hank,
Thanks for your help!
I installed Python 2.4.4. I did receive errors that tcl and something
else didn't install. Now, the Mailman install script still finds
/opt/csw/lib/python2.3/distutils/dist.py:213 . Can you tell me where
Python 2.4.4 puts the distutils?
Dave
If you built python 2.4.4 to install in /usr/local, you should have a
/usr/local/lib/python2.4 directory that has the distutils in it.
I assume you're building Mailman 2.1.9 from downloaded source; if not,
I recommend you do that, rather than using somebody else's prebuilt
source.
Make sure the correct python is in your PATH. If you've already built
Mailman with the /opt/csw python2.3, do a make clean, rerun configure,
make, and make install on Mailman.
As I've said, /opt/csw is not a Solaris 10 directory, but is used by
one or more of the package prebuilders. I would do an audit on what
is in that directory and pkgrm anything you don't actually need on
your system.
Using the Solaris release sendmail and apache works well, but I'd
build Python 2.4.4 and Mailman 2.1.9 from source. The default gid for
sendmail is other and for apache is nobody, for the Mailman
configure script on Solaris 9/10.
