Exciting your orbitals

Ok so I’m working on customizing Martin Aspeli’s Uber-Buildout.  There’s been some confusion when trying to run the buildout on a mac.  Specifically, my coworker Kevin discovered lxml as a missing dependency and what do you know,

$ easy_install lxml

doesn’t work.  Lucky for us other intrepid bloggers have found a solution to this problem:

$ STATIC_DEPS=true easy_install 'lxml>=2.2alpha1'

Big thanks to Ian Bicking and his blog.
