[Mailman-Users] Mailman on OSXServer? (long)

[David Herren]

Forgive me if this has been covered--I was dissappointed to discover  
that the archives are not readily searchable.

I am running OSXServer 1.2, and Python-2.0, and attempting to setup  
Mailman for a non-profit, worldcall.org. So far my attempts at  
installing and making Mailman have met with no success. MX records  
pointing to the server haven't fully propogated yet, but should be  
within 48 hours.

The config process generates no errors and appears to be successful:

/home/mailman exists and has the proper permissions (I believe):

[worldcall:/Local/Public/mailman-2.0] mailman% ls -al /home
total 6
drwxr-xr-x   3 root     wheel    1024 Nov 25 10:58 .

drwsrwsr-x  18 mailman  mailman  1024 Nov 25 11:18 mailman

make, however, generates the following:

I'm obviously missing something...any suggestions?
