lxml error

[robboz4]

I have fixed this in the past but for some reason I’m getting nowhere on Yosemite 10.10.1. I cannot use Eggbot or even save a files as dxf. I have tried the instructions, but have yet to successfully get lxml either complied or installed.

Anyone have any work arounds or have solved it? 

Thanks

For Yosemite, you’ll need to install a fresh copy of Inkscape (the latest version is 0.48.5) and manually install the Inkscape Extensions. (More info here: http://wiki.evilmadscientist.com/Installing_software#Mac ) 

 Do not run the EggBot installer; it has not been updated for Yosemite yet, and has a conflict that will cause the LXML error.

Ok Thanks. I will try that next.

The same issue. I have all the Eggbot files in place and the Eggbot extensions show up just fine. It is this lxml wrapper issue I can’t solve. It did compile last night successfully, no idea why it would do that after not compiling earlier. But it still reports this issue.

@robboz4: We have been running Yosemite since before the public beta, and have not needed to compile or install LXML to fix that error.   

Starting with a _fresh_ copy of Inkscape 0.48.5, please check to see if the extensions are working.  Try, for example,   Extensions > Render > Gear.

HI!

That looks like it did the trick. I tried the “gears” test to make sure I still had an issue and sure enough the lxml issue was still there. I did a complete new install of Inkscape. Tested with gears and it worked. The  “save as” a  dxf file also worked. I manually moved the eggbot files to the directory and yippee no more lxmx error.

Thanks for the assistance. I’m sure I’ll asking again after the next Apple update. :-)

Cheers

Awesome– and I apologize for not having the new installer ready yet.  We’re working full time on shipping robots right now, and will get back to this soon. :)
