-GNU/LINUX ISSUES
-
- GNU/Linux seems to be the most popular platform on which to run
- Mailman. Here are some hints on getting Mailman to run on Linux:
-
- If you are getting errors with hard link creations and/or you are using
- a special secure kernel (securelinux/openwall/grsecurity), see
- contrib/README.check_perms_grsecurity.
-
- Note that if you are using Linux Mandrake in secure mode, you are probably
- concerned by this.
-
- Apparently Mandrake 9.0 changed the permissions on gcc, so if you
- build as the mailman user, you need to be sure mailman is in the
- cctools group.

-PYTHON PACKAGES
-
- Note that if you installed Python from your Linux distribution's
- package manager (e.g. .rpms for Redhat-derived systems or .deb for
- Debian), you must install the `development' package of Python, or
- you may not get everything you need.
-
- For example, using Python 2.2 on Debian, you will need to install
- the python2.2-dev package. On Redhat, you probably need the
- python2-devel package.
-
- If you install Python from source, you should be fine.
-
- One symptom of this problem, although for unknown reasons, is that
- you might get an error such as this during your install:
-
- Traceback (most recent call last):
- File "bin/update", line 44, in ?
- import paths
- ImportError: No module named paths
- make: *** [update] Error 1
-
- If this happens, install the Python development package and try
- "configure ; make install" again.
-
- This problem can manifest itself in other Linux distributions in
- different ways, although usually it appears as ImportErrors.
