The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Paul Wisén <address@concealed>]

Hi!
I'm trying to install Sympa here on my Linux Redhat 7 system.
First I used the RPM but after some trubble i changed to the source 2.7
file.. 
I think I have done everything here. (been reading the install docs for
hours.. )

Done the changes in /etc/sympa.conf and /etc/wwsympa.conf.
Done make and make install and everything works fine.

But I can't start Sympa.pl for some reason.
I'm trying with the debug mode and this is what I get.
