[Mailman-Users] mailmanctl DOESN'T start

[Oliver Egginger]

You maybe have to patch bin/mailmanctl.

Here is the diff for a patch:
255c255
     os.execl(mm_cfg.PYTHON, mm_cfg.PYTHON , exe, rswitch, '-s')
---
     os.execl(mm_cfg.PYTHON, 'qrunner', exe, rswitch, '-s')

The last line namely 
os.execl(mm_cfg.PYTHON, 'qrunner', exe, rswitch, '-s')
is the original line from the 2.1.2 mailman distribution.
It cause maybe the errors on your system.

Barry told us, that os.execl uses the second parameter to calculate the
library path enviroment for the called python interpreter.
So the original line may break your python interpreter.

There exists no official patch yet, so you have to
fix this manually.

Let us now whether or not this patch works for you.
I'am using Mandrake 9.1 and it works for me.
