Hi Paul,

I just went through this same issue this week on a rh7.3 box. Basically you need to install the python2 rpms ("up2date -i python2 python2-devel") and then download and install mailman 2.1.2 using the following commands: tar -xvzf mailman.tar.gz cd mailman-2.1.2 ./configure --with-python=/usr/bin/python2.1 make install

You may want to run ./configure --help in order to see what other options you can specify. One additional one that I used was "--prefix=/exposed/mailman"

hth,

-Jim P.

Has anyone seen Mailman 2.1.2 for Redhat 7.x and/or Redhat 8.x?

I only have seen mailman-2.0.13-1.i386.rpm, and there are some new features in 2.1.2 that would be nice to have.

Thanks,

Check rpmfind.net. You may find some there. I built my own RPM for 7.3, originally based on the redhat rpm for 2.0.something. If you promise not to ask me about it nor bitch if it doesn't work for you, you can grab the specfile and various source files from here:

This is one of those "WORKSFORME" kind of things. I use Postfix as the MTA on the systems I run, so the rpm triggers and other stuff for sendmail might not work well, they certainly aren't well tested.

If you use this and it breaks your system, you get to keep the pieces. I offer no warranty or support at all for this.

Unless you are dying for an RPM, I'd say it's much easier to just install from source. That way the folks here will have a better idea of what your install should look like if you need help later.
