在Ubuntu 10.04.4上安装lxml时出现问题

Question

I am trying to install "lxml" on my Ubuntu 10.04.4 and getting the following error:

root@buildxxxx:~# easy_install lxml
install_dir /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/

I am using Python 2.7.3 version and already tried installing libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev python-dev but I already had these in my system.

Any idea?

Did you try pip? Generally pip should be preferred over easy_install:
Why use pip over easy_install?
Corresponding pip command will be

pip install lxml

Also, you can try:

$ sudo apt-get install python-lxml
