Hi,
I've been trying to install 2.1.5 (and indeed, 2.1.3) on an AIX 5.2
box with Python 2.2.4 (the version IBM supplies on the Linux toolbox CD).
The code seems to build fine using either xlc or gcc as the compiler, but
either case fails to install in the following way (the same install works
just fine on Fedora);
>Creating language directory /usr/local/mailman/ja
>Creating language directory /usr/local/mailman/ko
>Creating language directory /usr/local/mailman/lt
>Creating language directory /usr/local/mailman/nl

And sure enough at this point, de is a file and not a directory (see below).
$ cd /usr/local/mailman/messages/
$ ls -l
total 128

Has anybody had any experience with this error (and its resolution)? Has
anybody managed to install any mailman version on AIX 5.x? I have, of course
looked at the FAQ and the mailing list archives and there appears to be
precious little AIX-related information.
Any help appreciated,
Regards,
Steve Greatbanks
