Python pip3.5 fails to find libxml2

[Cthulhux]

I installed devel/libxml2 from the ports. However, pip3.5 install lxml fails because its cc claims to not be able to find libxml2. Does anyone have a clue?

Why don't you install devel/py-lxml?

I just tried this here and it just works.

Please share a more detailed error message. Running pip3.5 install -vvv lxml may provide more insight into your problem.

SirDice's solution should work if you override the default Python version to be 3.5. But there are good reasons to not use the ports tree version, like e.g. installing into a virtualenv, etc. It really should just work.

Because my default installation is py27, that seems to interfere quite a bit.

Please share a more detailed error message. Running pip3.5 install -vvv lxml may provide more insight into your problem.

Sorry, you're right:

(XenForo gets me an error when I try to attach it here.)

I don't get the warnings about xslt-config you get. Is textproc/libxslt installed?

It was not. I installed it now and the error is gone, thanks.

pip3.5 tried to install it (according to the logs) itself but failed. I wonder what went wrong...
