The immediate problem is Mailman does not have permission to create or
write /var/log/mailman/error. This is a RedHat specific location for
these logs, and there may be a problem with the permissions
established by the rpm you installed.

The /var/log/mailman/ directory should be group 'mailman' and
permissions 2775. Owner is usually 'root' but this doesn't matter.

All files in the /var/log/mailman/ (if any) should be group 'mailman'
and permissions 0664.

This will get past the immediate problem, but then there will probably
be some other error logged to the file and reported.
