[Mailman-Users] Syntax error while trying to install Mailman..

I have been trying to get mailman installed on my system for some time now and this error seems to be the last stumbling block..

Traceback (innermost last): File "bin/update", line 32, in ? from Mailman import MailList File "/usr/home/sitename/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 822 raise ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Here is the configure command I run right before trying a 'make install'.

./configure --prefix=/usr/home/sitename/usr/local/mailman --with-python=/usr /home/sitename/usr/local/python/bin/python --with-username=username --with-g roupname=groupname --with-cgi-gid=100 --with-mail-gid=100

and here is my system configuration:

BSD python 1.6

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Greg
