[Mailman-Users] Problems with configure

[Hennie Rautenbach]

OS Solaris 8
Version: mailman-2.0.13
Python: 2.2.1

I have created the mailman user (uid 110) and the mailman group (gid 15)

When I run configure (as the mailman user) I get the following output:

(Stuff excluded at the top)

checking for true... /bin/true
checking for --without-gcc... no
checking for gcc... /usr/local/bin/gcc
checking whether the C compiler (/usr/local/bin/gcc  ) works... yes
checking whether the C compiler (/usr/local/bin/gcc  ) is a 
cross-compiler... no
checking whether we are using GNU C... yes
checking whether /usr/local/bin/gcc accepts -g... yes
checking whether #! works in shell scripts... yes
checking for --with-var-prefix... no
checking for --with-username... mailman
checking for mailman UID... Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "conftest.py", line 1, in ?
    import pwd, string
ImportError: No module named pwd
cat: cannot open conftest.out

configure: error:
***** No "mailman" user found!
***** Your system must have a "mailman" user defined
***** (usually in your /etc/passwd file).  Please see the INSTALL
***** file for details.

I can confirm that the mailman user and group exist. I can log in fine 
as "mailman".

What am I doing wrong here ?

Any advice or help will be much appreciated.

Regards,

Hennie (first time mailman user)
