TypeError: build_libxml2xslt() got an unexpected keyword argument 'libiconv_version'

This is a regression in lxml-2.2.3

$ python setup.py build --static-deps install --no-compile

Could you make sure that you start with a clean configuration? It seems to
me that it imports a wrong (outdated?) buildlibxml.py from somewhere.

Assuming you're on Linux, run the build as

 strace -e open python setup.py ...

to see where it's imported from.

Oh, well... That was an accidental merge from 2.3. Thanks for the report!

Nice! :-)

You can always find the *current* build log of lxml on various platforms (currently only mac, linux, win .. x86 and Python-2.6) here: http://pypm.activestate.com/list-l.html#lxml
