Notes on getting pyWrapper to link to mx

The installation guide is here: http://trac.pywrapper.org/pywrapper/wiki/InstallationGuide

for OS X (10.3.9)

Steps 1 and 2 went off without a hitch after I installed the latest version of Python (2.4).

There may be some problems with the default versions of libxml and the xslt libraries. To update libxml2 and libxslt try looking here for hints:

http://jamesclarke.info/notes/libxml2

Some of the links at http://xmlsoft.org/XSLT/downloads.html -> downloads don't have the latest version of libxml2 OR libxslt. I eventually found them here (using 2.6.9):

ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/libxml2/2.6/


Used xslt 1.1.9. (failed)


I followed James' instructions with this difference in the flag for both libxml2 and libxslt ./configure commands (this vs. the updated version of Python):

./configure --with-python=/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/

The other flags need to be included.

lxml still dying, the current error is:

In file included from src/lxml/etree.c:27:
/usr/local/include/libxml2/libxml/xmlstring.h:29: error: redefinition of `xmlChar'
<much more barfing>

I'm using

python setup.py build_ext -i -I /usr/local/include/libxml2

Once libxml and libxslt are install try this to see what version is running

xsltproc --version
