[Mailman-Developers] Help regarding an error during installation

[Daman Singh]

@Simon thanks for the help. I have successfully setup the dev environment.

@Abhilash I have checked it twice but no new virtualenv is created. I use
virtualenv for projects and have used one for this also, and zlib was
installed in that env. Moreover, i tried to install it on Ubuntu installed
in virtual machine, and it ran absolutely fine.

Best
