Hi, <br>
<br>
On a reasonably fresh (3 day old) install of 64 bit windows 7, I
have installed the 64 bit Python 2.7.3 from
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.python.org/download/">http://www.python.org/download/</a><br>
<br>
Then I installed the 64 bit version of easy_install using
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools">http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools</a> <br>
<br>
And then install lxml 2.3.5, for which I use the instructions at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://lxml.de/installation.html#installation">http://lxml.de/installation.html#installation</a> <br>
<br>
This ends with:<br>
Processing lxml-2.3.5.tgz<br>
Running lxml-2.3.5\setup.py -q bdist_egg --dist-dir
c:\users\ian\appdata\local\temp\easy_install-9__rq7\lxml-2.3.5\egg-dist-tmp-uj_v_2<br>
Building lxml version 2.3.5.<br>

<br>
** make sure the development packages of libxml2 and libxslt are
installed **<br>
<br>
Using build configuration of libxslt<br>
error: Setup script exited with error: Unable to find vcvarsall.bat<br>
<br>
C:\Users\ian><br>
<br>
Now what? I thought I was installing the binary package do I would
not need any development versions. <br>
<br>
What do these errors mean, and how can I overcome them? <br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
<br>
