Following the instructions at

https://lxml.de/installation.html#installation

I am running

STATIC_DEPS=true pip install --no-binary :all: lxml

but I am receiving this error:

I believe the problem is that version 1.1.33 of libxslt has not actually been released and there is only a rc1 source tarball.

Yes, that is the reason. The build support in the latest lxml release doesn't deal well with this case.

How can I work around this issue?

You can set the env var LIBXSLT_VERSION=1.1.32 (or probably also LIBXSLT_VERSION=1.1.33-rc1).

I would like to do a static build of libxml and libxslt because I am attempting to track down a memory issue and I want to be running the latest released versions of those libraries, as opposed to the versions offered by the host operating system.

Seems like a good idea in such a case. Stefan
