[Inkscape-devel] Perfect bound cover extension on Windows

I have since found the messsage. In essence it says I must download and install http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/lxml

That in turn requires that I download using a package called "pip" which I don't have. Or I can build from source, but that requires that I have libxml2 and libxslt including header files.

This is indeed a man-sized can of worms to get a function that should be included with the base system. I also have a Debian partition up which has Inkscape 47 on it. If the "pip" path fails I will try upgrading Debian to wheezy which may have a newer version available.

It would be nice if the developers of Inkscape would provide a source package for Linux that had all the requirements bundled in.
