If I try to install from the lxml binary package I downloaded and upzipped I get this: c:\Python27>python lxml-2.3.4/setup.py install Building lxml version 2.3.4. WARNING: Trying to build without Cython, but pre-generated 'src/lxml/lxml.etree. c' does not seem to be available. ERROR: 'xslt-config' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. ** make sure the development packages of libxml2 and libxslt are installed ** Using build configuration of libxslt running install running bdist_egg error: error in 'egg_base' option: 'src' does not exist or is not a directory Confused. :-) Cheers, David -- David Fanning, Ph.D. Fanning Software Consulting, Inc.
