I'm not normally a Windows user so I'm at my wit's end here trying to get lxml to install. When I try easy_install I get the following: C:\Python24\Scripts>easy_install lxml Searching for lxml Reading http://www.python.org/pypi/lxml/ Reading http://codespeak.net/lxml Reading http://www.python.org/pypi/lxml/1.1.2 Best match: lxml 1.1.2 Downloading http://codespeak.net/lxml/lxml-1.1.2.tgz Processing lxml-1.1.2.tgz Running lxml-1.1.2\setup.py -q bdist_egg --dist-dir c:\docume~1\dposluns\locals~ 1\temp\easy_install-vc3ufv\lxml-1.1.2\egg-dist-tmp-vxzlya Building lxml version 1.1.2 warning: no files found matching 'etree.c' under directory 'src\lxml' warning: no files found matching 'objectify.c' under directory 'src\lxml' warning: no files found matching 'etree.h' under directory 'src\lxml' warning: no files found matching 'etree_defs.h' under directory 'src\lxml' warning: no files found matching 'pubkey.asc' under directory 'doc' warning: no previously-included files found matching 'doc\pyrex.txt' warning: no previously-included files found matching 'src\lxml\etree.pxi' cl : Command line warning D4025 : overriding '/W3' with '/w' cl : Command line warning D4029 : optimization is not available in the standard edition compiler etree.c c:\Documents and Settings\dposluns\Local Settings\Temp\easy_install-vc3ufv\lxml- 1.1.2\src\lxml\etree_defs.h(20) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: ' libxml/xmlversion.h': No such file or directory error: Setup script exited with error: command '"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visu al Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\bin\cl.exe"' failed with exit status 2 When I try David Sankel's technique to build the libraries statically, I manage to get as far as adding wsock32 (which took me long enough to figure out how to do - again, not a Windows programmer) before the build process borked out on me with the same errors. I was using the Windows distributions of libxml, libxslt, iconv and zlib from zlatkovic.com. Can anyone help me figure this one out? Thanks, Dan. -- Dan Posluns, B. Eng. & Scty.
