Hi,

thanks for the report.

Note that the trunk version is almost exactly what was released as lxml 2.2.

Line 3299 appears to be the first line that uses names from libxslt, so my
guess is that something is wrong with your libxslt setup. My first guess
usually is that the libxslt-dev(el) package is missing, but you appear to
have libxslt 1.1.24 installed, and lxml seems to find the "xslt-config"
script which usually comes with libxslt-dev, so I'm a bit puzzled here.

Maybe your default include path lacks /usr/lib64 (where libxslt/*.h gets
installed)? Are you building this with 64bit Python and libraries?
