I'm developing lxml on Ubuntu (Gutsy), so I'm pretty sure this works in general.

Your error log wasn't complete and didn't show the beginning of the output.
Could you append a complete log to the forum page? Try

    easy_install lxml 2>&1 | tee install.log

that will leave the complete output in a file install.log.
