I tried to install lxml on my mac (yosemite) with pip install lxml and got the below error message. I tried this in my virtualenv as well as system wide with the same result. My virtualenv is Python3 and systemwide I tried it with both pip and pip3. I have no idea what to make of the error.
(testenv3)testenv3 > pip install lxml
