[Mailman-Users] problems running genaliases

[dylan lim]

Hi,

Thanks for your help. I have read this faq before. However, my problem is
that I do not have aliases or aliases.db file at all after I have done my
compilation of mailman. Creating a newlist and running genaliases to
generate these files gave me the above errors.

Thank you for your time.
