[Mailman-Users] compile problems with mailman-2.1.10/11

[b-vol]

Greetings,

I am new to this list.  i have been trying to compile  mailman-2.1.10 and 
mailman-2.1.11 (I have compiled mailman successfully  a  couple of years 
ago ). The computer is  an athlon-based PC with LFS 
(linuxfromscratch) -kernel 2.6.25.8,  gcc-4.2.2,  openssl-0.98 is 
in /usr/local and python-2.5.2 is in /usr/. The compiler spews the following 
in both instances  (i.e.for mailman-2.1.10 and mailman-2.1.11):-



  File "bin/update", line 37, in <module>
    import md5
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/md5.py", line 6, in <module>
    from hashlib import md5
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/hashlib.py", line 133, in <module>
    md5 = __get_builtin_constructor('md5')
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/hashlib.py", line 60, in __get_builtin_constructor
    import _md5
ImportError: No module named _md5
make: *** [update] Error 1



help would be appreciated.

yours sincerely
