cannot install lxml in virtualenv (python)
I cannot install lxml. In system i have python-lxml package, but i need other... Please help, if you can - my task is install lxml for development in virtual enviroment using virtualenv. I found this solution repaired successfully installation lxml:
$ sudo apt-get install libxml2 libxml2-dev libxslt-dev build-essential python-dev
$ sudo ldconfig
Then:
$ source bin/activate # for activate enviroment
(env) $ pip install lxml
But i have many problems.
First problem was install build-essential with dependencies - why build-essential failed?
It solved! Thanks for it!
Next i have this one (output):
(env) $ pip install lxml

So, i try to use easy_install with STATIC_DEPS=true

So i sad and don't know what to do. I believe for help from Stack Exchange community.
Sorry for my question and English (it's not my native language).
Solution 1:
The -lz means a library file named libz.so. This file is provided by the zlib1g-dev package. Run sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev to install the package, and try your original command again (without STATIC_DEPS).
