Problem building Mailmn 2 1 4

Hello,
I'm trying to intake Mailman 2.1.4 on my SlackWare 13.0 system. I configure it with "./configure --prefix=/opt/mailman --with-mail-gid=mailman --with-cgi-gid=www" and see no messages there. But when I do a "make install" i see: "Creating architecture independent directories... ... Compiling /opt/mailman/Mailman/versions.py ... bin/update:37: DeprecationWarning: the md5 module is deprecated; use hashlib instead import md5 /opt/mailman/Mailman/Utils.py:32: DeprecationWarning: the sha module is deprecated; use the hashlib module instead import sha Traceback (most recent call last): File "bin/update", line 48, in <module> from Mailman import MailList File "/opt/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 49, in <module> from Mailman.Archiver import Archiver File "/opt/mailman/Mailman/Archiver/__init__.py", line 17, in <module> from Archiver import * File "/opt/mailman/Mailman/Archiver/Archiver.py", line 31, in <module> from Mailman import Mailbox File "/opt/mailman/Mailman/Mailbox.py", line 21, in <module> import mailbox File "/usr/lib/python2.6/mailbox.py", line 19, in <module> import email.message ImportError: No module named message make: *** [update] Error 1" What's happening? As I am no C programmer, I don't know what to do.
Thanks for any useful help,
Regards,
Hans.

Normally, I would assume 2.1.4 was a typo and you really mean 2.1.14, but see below.
I configure it with "./configure --prefix=/opt/mailman --with-mail-gid=mailman --with-cgi-gid=www" and see no messages there.
I assume here you mean no *error* messages. There should be a fair amount of *normal* output.

Apparently, your Python version is 2.6 or later. The first Mailman version that is compatible with Python 2.6 is Mailman 2.1.12. See the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/pYA9>.
The current version is 2.1.14. Please download Mailman 2.1.14 and try again. See <http://www.list.org/download.html>.

I can imagine your confusion, sorry. I made no typing mistake, but really was trying to install 2.1.4. Very stupid of me not to notice that the previous one was 2.1.3. I have no idea, why I downloaded the wrong one :(

Yes, sorry, sometimes I am a bit lazy with my formulation.
MS > Apparently, your Python version is 2.6 or later.
Correct, the Python version that came with SlackWare 13.0 is 2.6.2

I now got 2.1.14, and it compiled without any problems.
Thank you for your patient help, and again sorry for being such a goof.
Regards,
Hans.
