PyXML Ubuntu 13.1，错误：安装脚本退出，错误：命令“ x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc”失败，退出状态为1

Question

struggling to install PyXML on UBuntu 13.1.0, As it is throwing the error: error: Setup script exited with error: command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1

I googled around a bit but could only find instructions to install python-dev but I have already done this (as demoed in the code below). I also added HAVE_MEMMOVE 1 to pyconfig.h

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks,

Answer 1

Why are you trying to install PyXML? It was written for older versions of python. Try using ElementTree it is simple to use and even supports XPath

You may start with

from xml.etree.ElementTree import ElementTree

and then continue with parsing or manipulating

EDIT:

Known Issues from here

The installation of PyXML and cElementTree will fail on Ubuntu 13.04, which is why these are now optional. If you are trying to install adspygoogle on Ubuntu 13.04, you should avoid installing these dependencies. If you need to use either of these dependencies, there is currently a work-around that can be found in this bug .
