This is supposed to be set up the python way using python setup.py build install which already does not work manually: failed to find headers for libxml2: update includes_dir Supposedly, one needs to specify the path to libxml2. Alternatively, one can run setup.py during the compilation of libxml2. Trying this by hand results in copying build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.7/libxml2mod.so -> /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages error: /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/libxml2mod.so: Permission denied Clearly, we do not want python modules to end up in /usr/local. Do you see a solution? Andreas
