Hi -
I'm having a bit of trouble with the install... using the INSTALL file of mailman-1.0rc1
Step 1 - noproblem.
Step 2 - cd to the src directory, ./configure doesn't work, ../configure appears to work fine.
make install results in a bunch of errors starting with:
Creating directory hierarchy /home/mailman/logs /bin/sh: ./mkinstalldirs: No such file or directory
There is no mkinstalldirs in the src directory, so I copy it there from the mailman-1.0rc1 directory.
Try make install again - it makes a whole bunch of directories in /home/mailman and then:
Creating directory hierarchy /home/mailman/cgi-bin
mkdir /home/mailman/cgi-bin
Creating directory hierarchy /home/mailman/mail
mkdir /home/mailman/mail
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/mailman-1.0rc1/src/bin'
for f in digest_arch mmsitepass newlist rmlist add_members list_members
remove_m
embers clone_member update arch sync_members check_db withlist;
do
/usr/bin/install -c -m 755 $f /home/mailman/bin;
done
/usr/bin/install: digest_arch: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/install: mmsitepass: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/install: newlist: No such file or directory
What now???????????
Thanks,
Richard.

Where the instructions say:
Usually you can just cd to the
directory you unpacked Mailman into, and run configure with no
arguments:
% cd <mailman-src-dir>
read it as:
% cd mailman-1.0rc1
rather than as:
% cd mailman-1.0rc1/src
Maybe
% cd mailman-<version>
would be a less confusing example. __ Trevor Johnson

Thanks, Trevor.
I continued as you directed and it seemed fine until I got to the password stage, where:
[mailman@trout bin]$ uname -a Linux (RedHat 5.2) trout.infoadv.com.au 2.0.36 #1 Tue Nov 17 13:01:19 EST 1998 i586 unknown [mailman@trout bin]$ whoami mailman [mailman@trout bin]$ pwd /home/mailman/bin [mailman@trout bin]$ python Python 1.5.1 (#1, May 6 1998, 01:48:27) [GCC 2.7.2.3] on linux-i386 Copyright 1991-1995 Stichting Mathematisch Centrum, Amsterdam
Is the module built as part of the install??? Should I start over??
Thanks,
Richard.
