Static lxml recipe and ligbcrypt works nowΒΆ
The just-released 0.6 version of z3c.recipe.staticlxml fixes the libgcrypt problem I described earlier .
I added a --without-crypto option that disables all use of libgcrypt. It was only needed for a now apparently unused exslt crypto extension. I don't think anyone that uses lxml for regular python/zope/plone work will notice the difference.
Except, you'll definitively notice a difference when you actually get lxml to build this way :-)
