The directory into which you unpack the tarball and in which you run configure and make does not have to be /usr/local/src/mailman or any specific directory. It just needs to be different from the ultimate install directory ($prefix). Granted, some mention of this could be made in the manual, and I'll do that, but this is standard GNU software installation practice. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
