OK...  I've gotten GCC installed.  When I attempt to ./configure 
mailman, it tells me my permissions are incorrect.  I have the set to
User: mailman - r,w,e (read, write, execute capabilities)
Group:  mailman - r,w,e
Everybody:  r,w,e

I also cd'd to the mailman folder and set gid=mailman

I'm still getting the following:

[mailman at treca mailman-2.1.3]$ ./configure
checking for --with-python... no
checking for python... /usr/bin/python

***** Set-gid bit must be set for directory: /usr/local/mailman
[mailman at treca mailman-2.1.3]$

To What am I supposed to set the gid, and how am I supposed to get that 
accomplished?

Thanks
