I don't have a /usr/local/bin/python in there. Is that my problem?


That's where the ports would install it, so that does sound like a
problem.   Look at "which python" and "pkg_info|grep python".

The executable /usr/local/bin/python has no business being in the path for *modules*. This is not your problem.

I have never used mailman so do not know how it picks up its modules. It *might* install them into one of these directories on the module patch, but more likely it just pushes its own directory of modules onto this path when it runs, in which case the output you have won't help.

Have you tried simply re-installing mailman? Maybe you upgraded python at some point after installing mailman and that is throwing something.



Sorry for the delay in response here. This is still a problem for me, and I would still like this problem resolved.

Yes, I've tried reinstalling both Python and Mailman, and upgraded to newer port revisions of Mailman which have been released since this message. I'm still getting the same error message when I go to start Mailman via its rc script:

... snip

Any ideas here?
