I created a symbolic link in /home/mailman/bin/Mailman to point to /home/mailman/Mailman, and in so doing, I got a little further with the newlist command. It no longer complains about a missing pythonlib.

However, I now get:

Initial friends password: Traceback (innermost last): File "/home/mailman/bin/newlist", line 141, in ? raise SystemExit(main(sys.argv)) File "/home/mailman/bin/newlist", line 91, in main newlist.Create(list_name, owner_mail, pw) File "/home/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 658, in Create self.Lock() File "/home/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 1189, in Lock self._lock_file.lock('w|', 1) File "/usr/local/lib/python1.5/posixfile.py", line 190, in lock flock = fcntl.fcntl(self._file_.fileno(), cmd, flock) IOError: (22, 'Invalid argument')

I am running (as you can see), Python 1.5 on an OpenBSD machine (2.3).

Sorry for this influx of messages, but I am completely new to Python (and Mailman).

Regards (again),

Tor.
