建立'lxml.etree'扩展名时出错

Question

I'm trying to install lxml, on an Ubuntu server running Python 2.6 (in a virtualenv - the system Python is 2.5).

I've checked out via svn and as a result I've also install Cython, as per the instructions .

However, I get the following error when running python setup.py build :

Building lxml version 2.3.alpha1-76211.
Building with Cython 0.11.
Using build configuration of libxslt 1.1.22
Building against libxml2/libxslt in the following directory: /usr/lib
running build
running build_py
running build_ext

                for i in range(c_tag_count):
                    if _tagMatchesExactly(c_child, c_ns_tags[2*i], c_ns_tags[2*i+1]):
                        c_next = _findChildForwards(c_child, 0) or _nextElement(c_child)
                                                               ^

src/lxml/lxml.etree.c:1:2: error: #error Do not use this file, it is the result of a failed Cython compilation.
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

And very similar errors if i try python setup.py bdist_egg , python setup.py build_ext -i or make

Trying to install via easy_install or pip produces the same error - although the former just hangs indefinitely.

As far as I am aware, all of the various dependencies, such as python-dev are installed.

What am I missing / doing wrong?

"I've checked out via svn " ...

"Building lxml version 2.3. alpha1 -76211" ...

You appear to be on the bleeding edge. Suggestions: Use a released version of the lxml source. Consult with the lxml author/maintainer.
