Must downgrade lxml to 3.6.0?

[antonely93]

Hello,
i have error when installing the requirements, ...
Failed building wheel for lxml
Foun existing installation: lxml 3.8.0
......
At the end have this:
Can't rollback lxml, nothing uninstalled.
Command "/usr/bin/python -u -c "import setuptools, tokenize;file='/tmp/pip-build-CUr3cA/lxml/setup.py';f=getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)(file);code=f.read().replace('\r\n', '\n');f.close();exec(compile(code, file, 'exec'))" install --record /tmp/pip-TD7g2p-record/install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-CUr3cA/lxml/

i'm on kali: Linux kali 4.12.0-kali1-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 4.12.6-1kali6 (2017-08-30) i686 GNU/Linux

If i must downgrade to lxml 3.6.0 please how i do that?

Thanks

question to be asked is is lxml 3.6.0 a requirement. since 3.8.0 is out why not use it.

@antonely93 you cna try one thing. in your requirements.txt file there is a line

lxml==3.6.0

try changing that to

lxml

then try running the pip install again. IF that helps then you don't need lxml that specific version.

too late :) i already remove the 3.8.0 and install the 3.6.0 and it is working fine now

Closing this. We are going to do dummy installation run on multiple boxes to see the challenges while installing datasploit and any observed issues will be raised and fixed.
