I had that problem a few days ago!

If you look way up at the top of the list of error messages, you'll
see that they begin with a complaint about a particular ".h" file
that's missing from your system.  You need to ask your system what
package would provide that file, then install it.

On my Debian system, I had to install "libxml2-dev" and "libxslt1-dev"
before lxml would compile and install properly from the buildout.

Actually, I think I also had to make a symlink because Debian put a
library one level deep that the lxml source code wanted at the root:

$ ls -l /usr/include/libxml
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root     14 2007-09-12 15:47 libxml -> libxml2/libxml
