how to solve the lxml error in python 2.7.3?

I downloaded the lxml-3.2.3.tar and extracted. later i isntalled it using the command as python setup.py install. but I am getting erro as below :

ERROR: 'xslt-config' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

** make sure the development packages of libxml2 and libxslt are installed **

If I want to install libxml2 and libxslt package then where can I find that ?

When compiling libraries sometimes it's required to install some requirements e dependencies like development packages before. That is your case.
LIBXML requires libxslt1-dev and libxml2-dev (The package name may be different).

On linux (Debian based OS) you could to install this packages like this:

$ sudo apt-get install libxslt1-dev libxml2-dev python-dev
