# I have installed majordomo 1.92 as documented.  When I tried to test by

# 
# 
# majordomo... aliased to "|/home/sigweb/majordomo/wrapper majordomo"
# ld.so: warning: /usr/lib/libc.so.1.8 has older revision than expected 9
# majordomo: No such file or directory
# "|/home/sigweb/majordomo/wrapper majordomo"... unknown mailer error 5
# Saving message in /home/sigweb/pzee/dead.letter
# /home/sigweb/pzee/dead.letter... Sent
# 
# 
# Does this mean that majordomo 1.92 has conflicts with old version of
# sendmail?  Or what's the problem?

I'm pretty sure this is in the FAQ.  "unknown mailer error 5" means
that "wrapper" exited with a status of 5.  If you look at wrapper.c,
it does an "exit(5)" when it failes to run the program it's been told
to run ("majordomo" in this case).  This means that either:

1)  The "majordomo" script isn't in the directory (W_BIN in the
Makefile) where "wrapper" expects to find it.

2)  The "majordomo" script is there, but isn't executable.

3)  The script is there and executable, but the perl interpreter isn't
where the script expects it to be (/usr/local/bin/perl).  If perl is
installed somewhere other than /usr/local/bin/perl on your system, you
need to change the "#!/usr/local/bin/perl" on the first line of all
the scripts in the Majordomo package to reflect where perl really is.
