inkscape: cannot find libxml2 when using inkex.py

geplus opened this issue · comments

Hi,
with lots of svg files, I have dis warning that made me unable to work with inkscape, becaus it appears again and again when I close it:

"The fantastic lxml wrapper for libxml2 is required by inkex.py and therefore this extension. Please download and install the latest version from http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/lxml/, or install it through your package manager by a command like: sudo apt-get install python-lxml".
(see #3449)
Of course, I've installed python-lxml, but this does not resolve the issue.
If this is a normal message, please make it less annoyng, enabling an option for stop it.

Os: Manjaro Linux 64x

Which nixpkgs version are you on? (I'm on NixOS 17.09 and was able to open and close your linked image without that error message.)

Resolved on my system installing python2-lxml package

@geplus , python2-lxml resolved issue too. TX.
