[Mailman-Users] Mailman error when sending to test-subscribe

[Mike Hanby]

Ok, I reinstalled, here are the steps that I followed (btw I'm using
Slackware 10).

As root, I created the mailman user and mailman group.  I have mailman
temporarily set up to allow shell access (so I can install as mailman).

# cd /usr/local
# tar -zxvf ./mailman-2.1.6.tgz
# chgrp -R mailman ./mailman-2.1.6
# chmod -R a+rx,g+ws ./mailman-2.1.6
# ln -s ./mailman-2.1.6 ./mailman
# ls -ld ./mailman*
	lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 2005-08-09 11:51 mailman ->
./mailman-2.1.6/
	drwxrwsrwx 13 joeblow mailman 976 2005-08-09 11:50 mailman-2.1.6/
# su - mailman

% cd /usr/local/mailman
% ./configure --with-mail-gid=nogroup
% make install > ./mailman-install.log 2>&1
	( According to mailman-install.txt you don't need to run make by
itself, and they say to run make install as non root)

I still don't see the ./scripts/subscribe script.

Here's what's in that /usr/local/mailman/scripts
	Makefile
	Makefile.in*
	bounces*
	confirm*
	driver*
	join*
	leave*
	mailman*
	owner*
	paths.py
	paths.pyc
	post*
	request*

Any suggestions?

It should be.  :-)

And then did 'make', and then as root 'make install'?

It looks like your installation isn't complete or the
/usr/local/mailman/scripts/subscribe file would exist.
