In addition, I would think you would need to change PREFIX as well for the port to install where you want it to. So, ISTM, you should be doing this: $ sudo make PREFIX=/usr/local/mailman/vhost/lists.wilson-pta.org -DFORCE_PKG_REGISTER install rather than trying to set MM_DIR. Note you may *also* have to set MM_DIR, but I'm almost certain you need to set PREFIX if you want the port to install there instead of /usr/local/mailman. The problem is, I'm not exactly sure *where* you want mailman to install, so it's hard to be correct without more information. -- Paul Schmehl, Senior Infosec Analyst As if it wasn't already obvious, my opinions are my own and not those of my employer. ******************************************* "It is as useless to argue with those who have renounced the use of reason as to administer medication to the dead."
