Hello,

I am desperately trying to build lxml on a Mac PPC with OS X 10.4. It is
not the most current plattform, but I am stuck with it...

I tried "STATIC_DEPS= true easy_install lxml", which works perfectly on
all Intel machines I have access to. But unfortunately there seems to be
a problem with libiconv on the PPC side.

Has anyone else had success?  I searched the archives for any hints on
building with this combination, but didn't find a solution/suggestions.

Should I try something similar to "./configure --without-iconv"? But how
would I pass this to easy_install? Or maybe try a local static build
including not only libxml2 and libxslt but libiconv as well?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

and sorry for bothering you with these newbee questions.

Pascal
