Hello,

I've just been trying to install mailman on a redhat linux (2.4.19-pre7) virtual server.

Everything seems to go ok, but I get the following error on make install:

[mailman@twenteenth mailman]$ bin/check_perms Traceback (innermost last): File "bin/check_perms", line 281, in ? checkmail() File "bin/check_perms", line 202, in checkmail mode = statmode(wrapper) File "bin/check_perms", line 74, in statmode return os.stat(path)[ST_MODE] OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/mailman/mail/wrapper'

I then make a directory at /home/mailman/mail/wrapper and chmod it as described in the install instructions . After doing this, running /bin/check_perms -f returns "no problems found".

Then, when I check my cgi-bin, it's empty, so of course, nothing works.

I've tried make clean / make install again using two different versions (2.0.11 and 2.0.8) and neither makes any difference, I get the same error on the first attempt, and still nothing in my cgi-bin.

I found a thread about this on this list archive

( http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/1999-February/000411.html )

but the suggested solution is adding a line to mailman-2.0.8/src/common.h ... I checked common.h in version 2.0.11 and 2.0.8 and found the line already there.. so no joy there.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Cheers,

Saul.
