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. - - - -Local Variables: -mode: text -indent-tabs-mode: nil -End: |
