[Linux-disciples] Compiling from source -- config options

[Adam Rosi-Kessel]

I've never heard of make configure. I would do:

make clean
configure --with-mail-gid=mailman
make

(but it could just be that I've never heard of make configure).

(you might also throw in a make realclean from time to time).
