What's confusing is which is the *source* directory and which is the
*installed* directory. The W_HOME setting would lead me to believe
that /usr/local/majordom is the installed directory, but then why does
/usr/local/majordomo/lists exist at all? From another installation?
If wrapper works on the latter, it's obviously been built for that
directory, not the one you claim. I'd get it sorted out where the W_HOME
directory is supposed to be (and it must be different than the source
directory where Makefile lives), remove the wrapper binary, rebuild, and
reinstall.
