I'm so lost I'm not even sure if I'm in the right newsgroup(s).

FreeBSD comes with Taylor UUCP (which is a gnu-ish thing).  I have been
asked to get it going.

We seem to have version 1.04, but it seems to have permissions trouble
no matter what I do.  Right now, the simplest 'uucp' command complains
mkdir fails making <sitename>/D.

So I got version 1.05 and tried that.  I cannot complete the 'configure'
script because the **#@! /bin/sh gets a malloc error a couple of minutes
into the run.

Anybody have some hints how I should proceed from here?  I'm pretty
intrepid in most ways, so I may just need a gentle nudge or a pointer
to the right FM to R.
