Compiled pre4 successfully . Some things like perfect bound cover and bar code don't work. Messages reference lxml in each case. So I iinstalled lxml. Still no joy. I started a recompile.
numpy installed? (at least on OS X I need both lxml and numpy) Do any of the other python extensions work? Try for example 'Text > Lorem ipsum…' or 'Render > Gear…'.
Does Python find all modules? Try running Python from the command line and import lxml: | LeWitt:~ suv$ python | Python 2.6.2 (r262:71600, Aug 23 2009, 06:02:15) | [GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5493)] on darwin | Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. | | >>> import lxml | >>> print lxml.__path__
Your command line code failed to find the module. What is its exact name? Does it have a .py suffix?
I'm a Python newbie myself and don't know more details about how to correctly install lxml on your linux distribution (on OS X I can use a port utility that handles the dependencies for me when installing python modules). At least it doesn't look like an Inkscape bug ;-)
Any linux+python expert who can help?
On linux, since inkscape extensions are written in python and many of those use the python wrappers for lxml to parse the xml I would assume that the distro should take care of making the python wrappers a dependency for inkscape. On gentoo it does at least.
I'm not sure about MS/Mac and how that dependency is handled on those platforms. But one should be able to install the python wrappers on those platforms too.
