Thanks for your response. I added the changes of the patch to buildlibxml.py and the installation went a lot further... but it still fails. Now with:

ld: library not found for -lbundle1.o
ld: library not found for -lbundle1.o
collect2: ld returned 1 exit statuscollect2: ld returned 1 exit status
lipo: can't open input file: /var/tmp//ccUI4H6k.out (No such file or directory)
error: command 'gcc-4.0' failed with exit status 1

Any other ideas?

Here's a patch that is supposed to make things work with MacOS 10.6:

https://codespeak.net/viewvc/lxml/branch/lxml-2.2/buildlibxml.py?r1=66217&r2=69351&view=patch

Please try if that changes anything for you.
