Could you give us the full configure options you used? It looks like 
Sympa did not create the sysconfdir directory, which is weird.
Did you use the --enable-fhs=yes option?

Sympa wants to install its configuration files in the /etc directory.
If you don't want that, please set the "--with-confdir=/home/sympa6/etc" 
option to your call to configure.
For further reading regarding Sympa default directory locations, please
