Hi,
I don't succeed in installing Mailman 2.1. 'make install' fails with the following
messages:

I tried with Mailman 2.1 tarballs from list.org and from sourceforge. For 'make' I
used solaris make and gnu make (3.80). Python is a freshly installed Python 2.2.2.
Compiler is gcc 2.95.3. There is no Mailman installed on the system yet.
It seems to me, that there might be a Python syntax error in bin/update, but since I
don't know Python, I'm not sure about it.
Any hints, where the problem could come from or where I could start to look for a
solution?
Thanks in advance
Frank Thommen
