Missing Japanese

[Bob-toxen]

I am attempting to install the latest Mailman from Source Forge.

I have not specified any language but am hoping to get English.

The "make install" failed with an error message similar to "cannot import
japanise.SOMETHING"
in the /usr/local/mailman/bin/paths.py file.

I commented that line of misc/paths.py out (and also lines relating to
korean
anticipating problems there) and repeated "make install", which
succeeded.

If you tell us what your OS is and what your Python version is and exactly
what error occurred and where, we may be able to help debug this. If you
wish to follow up, the best place is the <email address hidden> list
<http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users>.

I can tell you that configure and make install work for most people, but
there have been reports of problems with some systems, but there is not
enough information in this report for us to figure out what the problem is
in this case.

OS: GNU Linux (Mandreva 2007) with nothing special or unique
Python 2.4.1

The exact error message is the one that Python generates when the line:

     import japanese

is encountered on line 56 of file /usr/local/mailman/bin/paths.py because
there is no japanese.* file.

I understand that it comes from "import japanese" in paths.py, and I'm
guessing that this came from the 'import paths' in bin/update, but I'd
really like to know if you have a $prefix/pythonlib (where $prefix appears
in your case from #1749432 to be /usr/local/mailman), and if you do, does
it contain directories japanese/ and korean/, and if not, what did 'make
install' say when it tried to build these?
