lxml 3.3.5 + static deps on CentOS 6.5

Hi everybody, I'm trying to build lxml 3.3.5 with static deps on a CentOS 6.5 box, so far without success. CentOS 6.5 ships with libxml2 2.7.6 and libxslt 1.1.26. I'd like to get the latest versions of both (libxml2 2.9.1 and libxslt 1.1.28). After a lot of experiments, I came up with the following way to install lxml: CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -fPIC -lgcrypt -ldl -lgpg-error -lrt" STATIC_DEPS=true pip2.7 install lxml -fPIC: seems to be mandatory on x86_64 (build fails otherwise) -lrt: fixes an issue with old versions of GCC (4.4.7 on CentOS 6.5), that results in 'undefined symbol clock_gettime' on import. -lgcrypt -ldl -lgpg-error: fixes similar import issues when libgcrypt is installed on the system (it's the output of libgcrypt-config --libs). But still, I get an error on import, that I couldn't be able to fix: Python 2.7.7 (default, Jun 16 2014, 15:17:40) [GCC 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-4)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
Is there some safe way to get static deps installed with lxml on a CentOS 6.5 system? Am I on the right track or am I totally missing something? Should I maybe just use the system libs (their versions seems not to be recommended by the docs...)? I'm using CPython 2.7.7. Thanks for your help! -- Fabio Sangiovanni
