Hi All,

Please help out on this:
------------------------
1. I download mailman 2.1.2 (
http://flow.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/mailman/mailman-2.1.2.tgz )
2. I download python 2.2.3 (
http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.2.3/Python-2.2.3.tgz )
3. Made python as "/opt/neo/local/Python-2.2.3/bin/python"
4. I Ran -> pwd=/opt/neo/build/mailman-2.1.2
/opt/neo/sources/mailman-2.1.2/configure --with-username=neo
--with-groupname=neo --prefix=/opt/neo/local/mailman-2.1.2
--with-var-prefix=/opt/neo/var/mailman-2.1.2
--with-python=/opt/neo/local/Python-2.2.3/bin/python

-----make install--------------------

    import japanese
ImportError: No module named japanese
make: *** [update] Error 1
--------------------------------

Q7. Why do I need japanese?

----./check_perms---------------------

Could not import paths!

This probably means that you are trying to run check_perms from the source
directory.  You must run this from the installation directory instead.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./check_perms", line 38, in ?
    import paths
  File "./paths.py", line 55, in ?
    import japanese
ImportError: No module named japanese
------------------------
Q8. What did I do wrong?
