Greetings programs! Here's the deal:

I recently upgraded my kernel, from 2.2.15mdk-secure to 2.4.0. On top of that I compiled and installed a new version of python. from 1.5.2 to 2.0. Everything was hunky-dory because Mailman still delivered mail just fine. but I ran into a problem with creating a new list - the passwords never worked for the admins, so I realized what I'd done and decided to reinstall Mailman. Well, I do everything according to the directions again, and come up with the following error in my mail.log file:

Feb 11 05:16:59 unica qmail: 981897419.719923 starting delivery 6520: msg 272062 to local test2@tigerknight.org Feb 11 05:16:59 unica qmail: 981897419.720045 status: local 1/10 remote 0/20 Feb 11 05:16:59 unica Mailman mail-wrapper: Failure to exec script. WANTED gid 12, GOT gid 604. (Reconfigure to take 604?) Feb 11 05:16:59 unica qmail: 981897419.736937 delivery 6520: deferral: Failure_to_exec_script._WANTED_gid_12,_GOT_gid_604.__(Reconfigure_to_take_604?)/ Feb 11 05:16:59 unica qmail: 981897419.737048 status: local 0/10 remote 0/20

Now this is very frustrating, since I ran the configure script with a --with-mail-gid=12 option and it recognized it, as follows. Can anyone help me UN puzzle this again so that my Mailman installation can both make new lists AND deliver them? :P This is just too frustrating for me at 5am on a night before work :]
