[lxml-dev] Ubuntu Installation Woes

[Richard Alex Hofer]

Thanks a bunch for the advice.  I had assumed the problem had to do with
gcc and that there where so many errors that you only needed the end of
the log.  Once I got the full log I realized I was missing the
python-dev package *smacks head*, once I installed it everything worked.
Thanks a bunch :D
