Wow, the same error as in

If you make no changes in your configuration the error will be the
same.

Did you have read INSATLL and FAQ in the source?

,----[ FAQ ]
| A. The most likely cause of this is that the GID that is compiled into
|    the C wrappers does not match the GID that your Web server invokes
|    CGI scripts with.  Note that a similar error could occur if your
|    mail system invokes filter programs under a GID that does not match
|    the one compiled into the C mail wrapper.
| 
|    To fix this you will need to re-configure Mailman using the
|    --with-cgi-gid and --with-mail-gid options.  See the INSTALL file
|    for details.

| 2. Running configure
| 
|     TAKE SPECIAL NOTE OF THE --with-mail-gid AND --with-cgi-gid
|     OPTIONS BELOW.  YOU WILL PROBABLY NEED TO USE THESE!
| 
| ...
| 
|      --with-mail-gid=<group-or-groups>
|             Specify an alternative group for running scripts via the
|             mail wrapper.  <group-or-groups> can be a list of one or
|             more integer group ids or symbolic group names.  The first
|             value in the list that resolves to an existing group is
|             used.  By default, the value is the list `other daemon'.
| 
|             This is highly system dependent and you must get this
|             right, because the group id is compiled into the mail
|             wrapper program for added security.  On systems using
|             sendmail, the sendmail.cf configuration file designates
|             the group id of sendmail processes using the "DefaultUser"
|             option.  (If commented out, it still may be indicating the
|             default...)
| 
|       --with-cgi-gid=<group-or-groups>
|             Specify an alternative group for running scripts via the
|             CGI wrapper.  <group-or-groups> can be a list of one or
|             more integer group ids or symbolic group names.  The first
|             value in the list that resolves to an existing group is
|             used.  By default, the value is the the list `www www-data
|             nobody'.
| 
|             The proper value for this is dependent on your web server
|             configuration.  You must get this right, because the group
|             id is compiled into the CGI wrapper program for added
|             security, and no Mailman CGI scripts will run if this is
|             incorrect.
| 
|             If you're using Apache, check the values for the `Group'
|             option in your httpd.conf file.
