Hello, i just tried to install mailman to finally replace majordomo, but it didn't work as expected.
I fist installed python successfully: mail:~ # python Python 2.2.2b1 (#1, Oct 10 2002, 13:39:17) [GCC 2.7.2.1] on sunos5 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. After proceeding as listed in the install instructions on the web site, i've created username and group 'mailman' and started to configure mailman as user 'mailman'. The output of the configure works fine, until that point: mail:/usr/src/mailman-2.0.13 $ ./configure [...] checking for --with-username... mailman checking for mailman UID... 5555 checking for --with-groupname... mailman checking for mailman GID... 5555 checking permissions on /home/mailman... okay checking for mail wrapper GID... 1 checking for CGI wrapper GID... 60001 checking for CGI extensions... no Traceback (most recent call last): File "conftest.py", line 2, in ? from socket import * File "/usr/local/lib/python2.2/socket.py", line 41, in ? from _socket import * ImportError: No module named _socket This happens on SunOS mail 5.5 Generic_103093-26 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-1 (And yes i know that this is a "little" bit old :-) Since this is the first time i'm using python, i'm unable to find out what this error means and how to solve it. Any hints? With kind regards, Frank Altpeter P.S. please include me in reply since i'm not subscribed to this list. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/
