I have a problem installing the lxml in my mavericks machine.

I tried all possibilities by installing the prebuild binaries using

  • normal pip
  • pip with static deps

and Building

  • Current version in normal model
  • Current version with static deps
  • Older version in normal mode
  • Older version with static deps

and always end up in this error.

clang: error: unknown argument: '-mno-fused-madd' [-Wunused-command-line-argument-hard-error-in-future]
clang: note: this will be a hard error (cannot be downgraded to a warning) in the future
error: command 'cc' failed with exit status 1

here the detailed message

Also when i tried installing cython , i am getting the same error

clang: error: unknown argument: '-mno-fused-madd' [-Wunused-command-line-argument-hard-error-in-future]

clang: note: this will be a hard error (cannot be downgraded to a warning) in the future

I am totally struck here. It seems this is something to do with the version conflict with gcc or libxml. But i could't figure out what. Any help much appreciated.

SOLVED

As per this SO post clang error: unknown argument: '-mno-fused-madd' (python package installation failure), this can be fixed by setting up this following env variables

export CFLAGS=-Qunused-arguments
export CPPFLAGS=-Qunused-arguments

I am sure that by that that you sorted it out, but in case someone else needs it, install XCode and command line tools and just run

pip install lxml

It will work, may take a little time.
