    <p>I am having trouble installing lxml to my Mac OS. I am having the following error when building it. This is the error I have when using <code>pip install lxml</code> </p> <blockquote> <p>/private/var/folders/9s/s5hl5w4x7zjdjkdljw9cnsrm0000gn/T/pip-build-khuevu/lxml/src/lxml/includes/etree_defs.h:9:10: fatal error: 'libxml/xmlversion.h' file not found</p> </blockquote> <p>I have installed libxml2 with brew: </p> <pre><code>brew install libxml2 brew link libxml2 --force </code></pre> <p>I'm new to Mac. In Ubuntu, it would mean libxml2-dev package must be installed. </p> <p>Updated: here is the pip.log:</p> <blockquote> <p>"~/.pip/pip.log" 124L, 8293C requirement_set.install(install_options, global_options, root=options.root_path) File "/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.5/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip-1.3.1-py2.7.egg/pip/req.py", line 1185, in install requirement.install(install_options, global_options, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.5/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip-1.3.1-py2.7.egg/pip/req.py", line 592, in install cwd=self.source_dir, filter_stdout=self._filter_install, show_stdout=False) File "/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.5/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip-1.3.1-py2.7.egg/pip/util.py", line 662, in call_subprocess % (command_desc, proc.returncode, cwd)) InstallationError: Command /usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.5/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Resources/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python -c "import setuptools;<strong>file</strong>='/private/var/folders/9s/s5hl5w4x7zjdjkdljw9cnsrm0000gn/T/pip-build-khuevu/lxml/setup.py';exec(compile(open(<strong>file</strong>).read().replace('\r\n', '\n'), <strong>file</strong>, 'exec'))" install --record /var/folders/9s/s5hl5w4x7zjdjkdljw9cnsrm0000gn/T/pip-nsV0iT-record/install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed failed with error code 1 in /private/var/folders/9s/s5hl5w4x7zjdjkdljw9cnsrm0000gn/T/pip-build-khuevu/lxml</p> </blockquote> <p>Any idea ?

    1. COIs there an error message in `~/.pip/pip.log`? After installing `libxml2` with `brew`, do you see the correct header files in `/usr/include/libxml2/libxml`? Are the `libxml2` headers definitely on your path?

    2. CO@ChrisP, I updated my question with the log. There is no /usr/include folder in my machine.

    3. COHopefully someone comes along who knows what's up. My only recommendation right now is to make sure the libxml2 headers are accessible via PATH. Homebrew should install to `/usr/local`, which is on PATH by default. Can you find the `xmlversion.h` file on your machine, just to make sure it's there? If you keep having trouble, I recommend the [Enthought](http://www.enthought.com) Python distribution, which comes with many hard to build tools (including `lxml`) by default. I know that doesn't solve your exact problem.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
