	Mailman is being pretty obvious here with the error messages. 
You say that you specified "--with-mail-gid=root" when you built 
Mailman.  That may be required in order to have appropriate 
user/group permissions to the log files, etc....  However, the error 
message is saying that you also need "--with-cgi-gid=apache" in order 
to make the web interface part of Mailman work with Apache.
