All the answers above assume the user has access to a privileged/root account to install the required libraries. To install it locally you will need to do the following steps. Only showed the overview since the steps can get a little involved depending on the dependencies that you might be missing

1.Download and Compile libxml2-2.9.1 & libxslt-1.1.28(versions might change)

2.Configure each install path for both libxml and libxslt to be some local directory using configure. Ex. ./configure --prefix=/home_dir/dependencies/libxslt_path

3.Run make then make install

4.Download and compile lxml from source

I solved this issue by increasing my server ram   I was running only 512 MB and when I upgraded to 1 GB I had no problem   I also installed every package manually prior to this in an attempt to fix the problem  but I m not sure whether this is a necessary step

pymemcompat h 10  fatal error  Python h             Boy you should post your error log with LANG C or people can t get the real cause from your log  The log above says  No such file or directory   That means you should install the develop package of Python  That s usually  python-dev  on Debian flavored distro  and  python-devel  on RHEL flavored distro

User · Answer

No you are missing the Python header files  This mostly happens on Linux when you are using the system Python  there are reasons not to do that  but that s a different question    You probably need to install some package  and it s probably called python-dev or python-devel    sudo yum install python-devel   or   sudo aptitude install python-dev   Or somesuch

I am using Ubuntu 14 04 and this solves the issue for me  sudo apt-get build-dep python3-lxml sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev libxslt-dev python-dev

User · Answer

make sure the development packages of libxml2 and libxslt are installed      From the lxml documentation  assuming you are running a Debian-based distribution    sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev libxslt-dev python-dev   For Debian based systems  it should be enough to install the known build dependencies of python-lxml or python3-lxml  e g   sudo apt-get build-dep python3-lxml

If you have installed the libxml2 and libxslt  maybe you need to create a symbolic link between libxml2 and libxslt path to python2 6 include path  Also you can try to add INCLUDE environment argument  Because the gcc command only search this path  -I usr include python2 6

These two packages need to be installed separately and usually can t be installed using pip   Therefore  for FreeBSD   Download a compressed snapshot of the Ports Collection into  var db portsnap    portsnap fetch When running Portsnap for the first time  extract the snapshot into  usr ports    portsnap extract After the first use of Portsnap has been completed as shown above   usr ports can be updated as needed by running    portsnap fetch   portsnap update  Now Install  cd  usr ports textproc libxml2 make install clean  cd  usr ports textproc libxslt make install clean   You should be good to go

STATIC DEPS true easy install lxml

User · Answer

This worked for me   yum install libxslt-devel libxml2-devel

User · Answer

I work on a Windows machine  And here are some pointers for successful installation of lxml  with python 2 6 and later    Have the following installed    MingGW  libxml2 version 2 7 0 or later  libxslt version 1 1 23 or later    All are not available at a pip install   libxml2 s windows binary is found here   libxslt is found here   After you are done with the above two   do   pip install lxml   Another workaround is using the stable releases from PyPI or the unofficial Windows binaries by Christoph Gohlke  found here

User · Answer

I know I am late to the show   But this will help if nothing else works out  mkdir   tmp export TMPDIR   tmp STATIC DEPS true easy install-2 7 lxml   Setting TMPDIR will ensure that the build can run everything that it needs to run  and setting STATIC DEPS will tell it to pull in its own libxml2 and  libxslt2  instead of using the old versions installed on the server

In case  you are using Ubuntu Lubuntu 13 04 or Ubuntu 13 10 and having problem with   usr bin ld  cannot find -lz   you may need also install zlib1g-dev package   sudo apt-get install -y zlib1g-dev   Put it all together   sudo apt-get install -y libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev zlib1g-dev python3-pip sudo pip3 install lxml

Installing a lxml binary would do the trick  Check this
