[Mailman-Users] Error compiling mailman 2.1.9

[Mario Silva Borrego]

Mark:

Thank you very much for your advices, finally I could compile it with 
this little modifications, the "--with-mail-gid" option does accept 
multiple values, so I just made some little modifications and here you 
have in case you also want to update your current installation:

# General variables

CONTENTDIR=/var/www
PROG=mailman

# Installation directories
MMDIR=/usr/lib/${PROG}
VARMMDIR=/var/lib/${PROG}
DOCDIR=/usr/share/doc/${PROG}
CONFIGDIR=/etc/${PROG}
DATADIR=${VARMMDIR}/data
LOCKDIR=/var/lock/${PROG}
LOGDIR=/var/log/${PROG}
PIDDIR=/var/run/${PROG}
QUEUEDIR=/var/spool/${PROG}
HTTPDCONFDIR=/etc/httpd/conf.d
HTTPDCONFFILE=${PROG}.conf
# Now, the user and group the CGIs will expect to be run under.  This should
# match the user and group the web server is configured to run as.  The 
scripts
# will error out if they are invoked by any other user.

cgiuser=apache
cgigroup=apache

# Now, the user and group the scripts will actually execute as.

mmuser=mailman
mmuserid=41
mmgroup=mailman
mmgroupid=41

# Directory/File modes & permissions

dirmode=2775
exemode=2755

# Now, the groups your mail spoolers run as.  Sendmail uses mail(12)
# and postfix used to use nobody, but now uses postfix

mailgroup="mail postfix mailman nobody daemon"

# Python binary
__python=/usr/bin/python

# The mail wrapper program
mail_wrapper=mailman

            --with-config-dir=${CONFIGDIR} \
            --with-lock-dir=${LOCKDIR} \
            --with-log-dir=${LOGDIR} \

            --with-python=${__python} \
            '--with-mail-gid=${mailgroup}' \
            --with-cgi-id=${cgiuser} \
            --with-cgi-gid=${cgigroup} \
            --target=localhost.localdomain \
            --with-mailhost=localhost.localdomain \
            --with-urlhost=localhost.localdomain \
            --without-permcheck \
