Category: configuring/installing Group: 2.1 beta

Status: Pending Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Goeran Zaengerlein (timetrack) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: make install fails with import error

Initial Comment: I tried to install Mailman 2.1b3 and I followed the installation instruction exactly but make install fails with the following message:

--- snip --- Compiling /usr/local/mailman/Mailman/versions.py ... Traceback (most recent call last): File "bin/update", line 44, in ? import paths ImportError: No module named paths make: *** [update] Error 1 --- snap ---

SuSE 7.2 Python 2.2.1 gcc 2.95.3

The problem was already described here: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2002- July/020991.html but no solution has been posted as far as I could see...

Any idea what I did wrong?

Moving to pending status, since I think this is the problem, but haven't heard an update from the submitter.

Did you install Python via RPM? If so, be sure you have the python-devel package installed. I don't know why this is, but I've seen reports of this problem when folks only have the python package installed. Installing the python-devel or installing Python from source seems to solve this problem.
