    Read the error message again, and read the suggestion it gives you.

    Error: WANTED gid 12, GOT gid 2.
    Suggestion: Reconfigure to take 2?

    Also helpful to read is the INSTALL file that comes with Mailman,
specifically section 2:

    2. Running configure

    TAKE SPECIAL NOTE OF THE --with-mail-gid AND --with-cgi-gid
    OPTIONS BELOW.  YOU WILL PROBABLY NEED TO USE THESE!

    .....
    [ ... snip ... ]
    .....

          --with-groupname=<groupname-or-gid>
            Specify a different groupname than `mailman' to use as a
            default.  Use this only if the groupname `mailman' is
            already in use.  Can take an integer group id.  Be sure
            your $prefix directory is group-owned by this group.



    So yes, RTFM.  It's written for a reason.
