The setup.py is a distutils installer. The usual drill in that case is
to simply type "python setup.py install". If the module is registered
in PyPi (which this one is), you can just type "easy_insta ll
libxml2dom" (after easy_install is setup) and you will not even need to
download and extract.

In this case, your module is a native wrapper. So you will need the
libraries that it provides a wrapper for, installed. In this case
(libxml2, libxml2dom). You will also need a C compiler.

All this can be trivial on a unix based platform. However, if you are
new and on Windows, this can be a hassle since you will have to
manually setup your C compiler and the dependencies. Try to find a
binary installer for native Python modules in MS Windows whenever you
can.

Here is a click and go installer built for Windows that I found from
Google.

Oops! That is for libxml2, not libxml2dom.

building 2.4.1 on HPUX

by: Richard Patterson | last post by:

I'm trying to compile python 2.4.1, on HPUX10.20, with support for tk and tcl 8.4 (installed in /opt/tk and /opt/tcl). I assume this means I need to compile the tkinter module too.. I was getting make errors, saying it couldn't find tcl/tk libs or headers... so I changed the setup.py script, hard coding library and include paths for tcl/tk, but it still didn't build the _tkinter module. So next I modified the Modules/Setup file,...

Need pixie dust for building Python 2.4 curses module on Solaris 8

by: skip | last post by:

I'm having no success building the curses module on Solaris 8 (yes, I know it's ancient - advancing the state-of-the-art is not yet an option) for Python 2.4. Sun provides an apparently ancient version of curses in /usr/lib, so I downloaded and installed ncurses 5.5, both using default settings and using --with-shared. When the curses module is linked against libcurses.so I get some strange error about acs32map being undefined (which...

Python Extension Building Network
