You need to figure out which Python you want to use. UPDATE: From your comments, you now are reporting a permission error showing yet another Python path, one that appears to be a MacPorts-installed Python: /opt/local/Library/Frameworks. Then you can run the easy_install command using it: STATIC_DEPS=true easy_install-2.7 lxml You need to install a separate easy_install for the version of Python you are using. I'm currently using /Library/Frameworks/amework/Versions/2.7/bin/python. Negative point: I still don't know how to install lxml on another version of python.

The positive point: if I run the Apple-Python, I can from lxml import etree. It installed lxml on the Apple-supplied system Python 2.7, and not on the version I'm currently using. Raise Exception('Command '%s' returned code %s' % (cmd_desc, returncode))Įxception: Command './configure -without-python -disable-dependency-tracking -disable-shared -prefix=/Users/my_name/Applications/lxml/lxml-2.2.2/build/tmp/libxml2' returned code 1įinally, I followed the second advise of this answer and I used the command line sudo STATIC_DEPS=true /usr/bin/easy_install-2.7 lxml.

Then, I tried to install lxml from source following these instructions, and I have this error message: checking whether we are cross compiling.

Then, I read this post and I installed it again using pip ( sudo pip install lxml).

First, I installed lxml without using pip (Python 2.7.2 on Mac OS 10.6.8).

Pip install lxml for python3 mac
