[gentoo-user] Mailman wont start

[Johannes Skov Frandsen]

I have tried to install Mailman following the steps in this guide (12):
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/virt-mail-howto.xml

but when I try to start the service with

                                                                                                                                         
/etc/init.d/mailman start

I get this:

mailman # /etc/init.d/mailman start * Starting mailman ...      [ !! ]

Obliviously something did not went as plan, but I can't seem to find anything in the log files (/var/log/mail.*). Am I looking the wrong place?

If not where should I look?

Try /usr/local/mailman/logs - HTH!

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people 
for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him 
who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Once you were 
not a people, but now you are God's people; once you had not received 
mercy, but now you have received mercy. ~1 Peter 2:9-10

I finally found the error log. I have included it with this post. It
seems to me that there is two errors, but is one causing the other or
are they independent? Any hints on how to fix the issues?
