easy_install lxml on mac not working

After running:

sudo easy_install lxml

I get the following error:

src/lxml/lxml.etree.c:165527: fatal error: error writing to -: Broken pipe

compilation terminated.

This looks like a c-compiler problem. 

 gcc --version

yields 4.2.1.

I don't really know what to do from here. Simply put, I want to install lxml on 10.6 OSX.

I was unable to install using either pip or easy_install in my virtualenv in Lion until I did this:

STATIC_DEPS=true ./easy_install lxml

That did the trick.

I just installed the gcc compiler and everything worked well.

If you're on OS X Lion, you can try building with an alternate compiler:

export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.7
export CC=clang

export ARCHFLAGS='-arch i386 -arch x86_64'

Run the export command, as root, before trying pip or easy_install.
