Hi, sang-suan gam, 22.11.2012 05:17:

i've installed lxml using pip for python3, but when i try to: "from lxml import etree", it failed with an exslt symbol not found:

the "pip" install output showed that the etree.so was indeed linked against the libs ...

: gcc -shared build/temp.solaris-2.11-i86pc.32bit-3.2/src/lxml/lxml.etree.o -L/usr/lib -lxslt -lexslt -lxml2 -lz : -lm -o build/lib.solaris-2.11-i86pc.32bit-3.2/lxml/etree.so

are there some steps that i'm missing ...

the python2 that was bundled with the system, works:

This doesn't look Py3.x specific in any way, so I changed the subject line. I think the problem is that you are building it yourself, independent of any specific Python version. Which version of libxslt are you using? (The Py2.7 lxml can tell you that). Do you have more than one library version installed? Did you get any compiler warnings during the build? Are you sure the development package of libxslt is properly installed? Stefan
