Re: [cobalt-users] [RAQ2] Mailman Software

[Dennis <dkc@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Did you use the RPM files off the Cobalt FTP site to install Python? If
so
I they are version 1.5.1 and I think the problem is that mailman wants
version 1.5.2 . Let me know if that solves the problem as I have not had
time to install 1.5.2 yet. You are going to have to download the tgz
file
from python.org or see if someone has compiled RPMs for Python 1.5.2

Let me know.
