Hi Bruce,

Thanks for your response.

I did run "make setup".
But "make setup" is in step 8, and makes the link in the conf-etc
directory. The ezmlm-test is run in step 6, from the build directory,
and doesn't reference the link location from "make setup".
./ezmlm-test requires ln -s en_US <build-directory>/lang/default

Maybe I have something else wrong, but that link is apparently
not defined for me at step 6 test time unless I set it myself.

Thanks,
John
