I am running Manjaro (Linux) distro. 2020 stable update.
I have Inkscape 0.92.4 installed from the repos.
When I access the Extentions I get:
"The fantastic lxml wrapper for libxml2 is required by inkex.py and therefore this extension. Please download and install the latest version from http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/lxml/, or install it through your package manager by a command like: sudo apt-get install python-lxml"
Yet it is listed in my packages:- "extra/python-lxml 4.4.2-1 [installed] Python3 binding for the libxml2 and libxslt libraries extra/python-lxml-docs 4.4.2-1 [installed] Python binding for the libxml2 and libxslt libraries (docs)"
Any solutions to this?
Thanks
Solution from Manjaro Forum
"Inkscape is still using Python2 and this is valid for its dependency too, install python2-lxml, it is listed in the optional dependency of the package"
But since Inkscape 1.0 has moved to using python3, I don't think this is a live issue any more. (at least for developers). For users, we're recommending people upgrade (so they can help test things)
