Arrggghh... That was pretty silly of me not to check the maillog! hahaha,
well, what can ya' do.

I found it out! -And now everything, so far, works!

For those who may be wondering how to resolve the Command died with
Status 2 error message:

All I did different is run ./configure with a different set of following
attributes:

./configure --with-mail-gid=89 --with-cgi-gid=65533

...And with the rest of the instuctions, it worked.

* Note: Those ID would be almost specific to me, so what I did is use the
	'id' command to find out the gid value of each user. However,
	you'll notice something a little more interesting; The nobody gid
	is 65534, but the 'thing', if you will, that tried to execute cgi-bin
	scripts for my apache server was using 65533, which you'll see is
	'tty'. I don't know why it wanted that, but it works, none the less.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
uid=89(mailman) gid=89(mailman) groups=89(mailman)

uid=65534(nobody) gid=65534(nobody) groups=65534(nobody)

tty:*:4:65533::0:0:Tty Sandbox:/:/sbin/nologin
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I hope this helps some people out there with the Command Died with Status
2 errors!

Sincerely,
Johnny
