Deal lxml Developers,
I want to use your library for some projects that I will need XML parsing and XSD verification. I am attempting to install lxml 3.2.1 onto a RHEL 6.1 server which has python 2.6.6 installed. I did not use pip to build and install lxml, rather I used the 'python setup.py install'. Everything seemed to build and install fine. I was able to run through a few tutorials with out any issue.
My problem came when I decided to try and run the unit tests that you have provided. I get one failure (see bottom of this E-Mail) when I run the 'make test' or 'python test.py -p -v' command. I have tried this on lxml versions of 3.1.2, 3.2.0, and 3.2.1 and I see the same test error on each release. I have attempted to sower the web, and the lxml mailing list archives to see if I could find any information on what is causing this test to fail, but I have come up empty. I am hoping that one of you can tell me what I am doing wrong, or what I can to to get this test to pass.
Thanks so much for your time,
- Chris
