[Mailman-Users] Help with Mailman-2.1.2

[Jon Carnes]

Dude!  When installing from source, don't put the source files into your
target directory. Put them in your home directory or in
/usr/src/mailman. When you run the install from there, it will create
the directories it needs.

Once the install is done, you need to run check_perms -f

Good Luck - Jon Carnes
