[lxml-dev] Help getting lxml to work reliably on MacOS-X

[Fabien]

Hello,

>  - what package management system (fink/macports) do you use?
macports

>  - are you using the stock Python or one that is installed separately?
the stock Python bundled with Leopard

>  - what library versions are you using of libxml2, libxslt, zlib, libiconv?
$ port installed |egrep 'libxml2|xslt|zlib|iconv'
  libiconv @1.12_0 (active)
  libxml2 @2.6.31_0 (active)
  libxslt @1.1.22_0 (active)
  zlib @1.2.3_1 (active)

When I'm trying to make the install, I get the following errors :

MacBook-Pro:Downloads jibaku$ sudo easy_install lxml==2.0.2
