Hmm, is that the complete output? I can't see where the warnings come from,
but I would suspect (especially seeing the "*.html") that it's easy_install
that's packaging up stuff here (which would be fine since the files are not
there yet).

Having the C compiler fail afterwards makes me wonder why Cython wasn't run
to generate the C code, though...

Anyway, I recommend installing from a source release anyway, so it's better
to use

    easy_install lxml==2.2alpha1
