Re: [Mailman-Users] Mailman configuration error
You specified the python directory to configure instead of the path to the python interpreter. What does "which python" give you? Probably /usr/bin/python, you probably don't need to use the --with-python argument (unless you have another version of python installed and you want to force one over the other) John On Wed, 2004-10-27 at 13:55, Adam G.
