The only C file I see is a pretty trivial majordomo-1.94.5/wrapper.c
It is not C++.

Reading between the lines ...
If you are not machine owner, then maybe you do not have root
priveleges ?  You need to have root password to install majordomo
succesfully.  If you have root, pay careful attention to majordomo
documenation/ scrips where it may talk of UID GID ownership, modes,
S bit etc.  Or if you do not have root password, ask your sys admin
to install majordomo for you.
