[lxml-dev] Internal compiler error when compiling lxml

[Joao Moreira]

Hi all,

I've just installed the latest lxml and tried to compile it (first I had 
to get
the latest libxml2 and libxslt), it crashes on the first file 
lxml.etree.c with
a "internal compiler error". I'm on a Linux box running Fedora 5, with
python 2.4.2.

Should I report this as a bug somewhere else ?

Any suggestions on how to work around this ? maybe a problem with version
compatibility, between lxml and python ? or libxml2, libxslt ? this is 
my very
first attempt at installing anything written in python, please forgive 
my ignorance.
Detailed trace below.

Thanks for helping,
Joao
