Hi,

After having read the Readme and FAQ files without finding a clear 
answer to my problem, I have something to ask you:
Should $homedir be a different directory to the directory created 
when I extracted majordomo.tar ?
When I get to the point of installing (make install), I get some 
errors, including trying to copy files that already exist... i.e.:

*************************************************
/usr/majordomo-1.93{504} make install
(test ! -f majordomo.cf  && echo "using sample.cf" && \
 cp sample.cf /usr/majordomo-1.93/majordomo.cf; exit 0)
(test -f majordomo.cf  && echo "using majordomo.cf" && \
 cp majordomo.cf /usr/majordomo-1.93/majordomo.cf; exit 0) 
using majordomo.cf
cp: `majordomo.cf' and `/usr/majordomo-1.93/majordomo.cf' are the 
same file 
cp contrib/archive2.pl  /usr/majordomo-1.93/Tools 
cp approve bounce medit /usr/majordomo-1.93/bin 
...
cp: `bounce-remind' and `/usr/majordomo-1.93/bounce-remind' are the
same file 
cp: `config_parse.pl' and `/usr/majordomo-1.93/config_parse.pl' are the same file
 cp: `majordomo' and `/usr/majordomo-1.93/majordomo' are the same file 
cp: `majordomo.pl' and `/usr/majordomo-1.93/majordomo.pl' are the same
file
...
cp: /usr/majordomo-1.93/digest: cannot overwrite directory
with non-directory
cp: `test' and `/usr/majordomo-1.93/test' are the same file 
make: *** [install-scripts] Error 1

********************************************************

The same thing happens with the wrapper:

*************************************************
/usr/majordomo-1.93{505} make install-wrapper
cp wrapper       /usr/majordomo-1.93/wrapper
cp: `wrapper' and `/usr/majordomo-1.93/wrapper' are the same file
make: *** [install-wrapper] Error 1
*************************************************

I've erased the directory,  extracted and followed the installation 
process twice, and I've even thought about installing to a different 
directory.

Any help would be apreciated.

Greetings,
               David Ochoa
