I'm trying to build a local copy of lxml on an Ubuntu x86-64 system.
I'm not doing lxml development, just need the package.
The documentation for building on lxml.de says that *all* I need to type is:
python setup.py build --without-cython
The results below show that there is a file missing from the
distribution. If the file is supposed to be generated, the
documentation does not say how this is accomplished.
kevin@ubuntu:~/build/lxml-lxml-3.3$ python setup.py build --without-cython
Building lxml version 3.3.3.

So it appears that the file 'src/lxml/lxml.etree.c' is missing from the
source distribution. I've checked 3.3.3 back to 2.3 and it has NEVER
been there AFAICT.
My question is, where do I get this file or how do I generate it, or is
this a bug?
Thanks,
Kevin
