Hi,

 

I am trying to install lxml on my box to use IMDbPY.

 

It seems to want a devel version of libxml2 and libxslt libraries

 

Reading http://codespeak.net/lxml
Best match: lxml 2.3.1
Downloading http://lxml.de/files/lxml-2.3.1.tgz

Running lxml-2.3.1/setup.py -q bdist_egg --dist-dir /tmp/easy_install-G2JuaS/lxml-2.3.1/egg-dist-tmp-oTo7ik

ERROR: /bin/sh: xslt-config: command not found

** make sure the development packages of libxml2 and libxslt are installed **

Using build configuration of libxslt 
In file included from src/lxml/lxml.etree.c:239:

src/lxml/etree_defs.h:11:4: error: #error the development package of libxml2 (header files etc.) is not installed correctly

 

I have the packaged versions of these libraries installed and showing in the /usr/lib dir...

 

Any ideas how I can get the devel versions, the only ones I can find are rpm packages.

 

 

Does anyone know how I can get these packages?

Does this help?

Hi,

 

Not really, it only links through to the .rpm versions of the dev packages. I don't know how to install them on unRAID as it's a Slackware based linux.

 

Regards,
