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.

What's wrong with the lxml provided by your distro? eg: apt-get install python-lxml

I have used Slackware since the 1990s. I just installed a Kubuntu partition too just for Inkscape use.

That doesn't really answer the question - both of those distros should provide a system-wide python-lxml package (though it might be named differently, and I haven't ever used slack - I'm assuming there's some sort of official repo).
