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…'.

no, that's for the internal script console ('View > Scripts…'), currently not working on linux and osx AFAIK. I see "Internal Python skipped" as well when configuring on osx, but all python extensions work nevertheless.

Does Python find all modules? Try running Python from the command line and import lxml:

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.

On OS X the Inkscape packaging process takes care of it and bundles the necessary python modules lxml and numpy with the application. The same goes for win32 installer packages which even include the python binary.
When building from SVN however a port manager like MacPorts on OS X helps a lot. On win32 AFAIK one can download (pre-compiled?) dev-libs needed to build Inkscape from SVN.

I don't use slackware but it appears that a package is floating around here... http://slackbuilds.org/repository/13.0/libraries/lxml/

First you find the SlackBuild page for Inkscape 47 and then you search out the libraries etc. using the name SlackBuild knows them by. There is a list on the Inkscape 47 page referenced above.
I got IS 47 pre 4 working on Slackware 13 with a lot of effort. First I had to download and install the packages listed on the Slackbuild page for IS 47 from the Slackbuild repository in the order specified. That gave me a clean compile but no barcodes or other python dependent features. Then I had to download and install lxml and numpy from the same repository. I recompiled and now the python functions work.
The above is Slackware specific. I used the Slackbuild method for everything but the main program, which I compiled with the usual ./configure - make - make install sequence.
Do you have all of libxml2, python-lxml, and python-numpy installed?
