There is a good solution: binary eggs. lxml already does this for Windows, and we're about to get them for OS X. So I think lxml will again become a reasonable thing to depend on. Which is important, because it's a very good library. > Using z3c.recipe.staticlxml recipe helps a bit for people using > buildout, but that is not everyone and even then I have seen random > segfaults. I've never seen errors with a static build (although I've seen the recipe fail to remove a non-static egg in a shared eggs cache). Maybe I'm lucky. :) Martin -- Author of `Professional Plone Development`, a book for developers who want to work with Plone.
