ubuntu 11.04 has native python2.7 i build python2.5 from source to /usr/local/python2.5/bin, and try to install lxml for my custom python2.5 install. Also i use virtualenv. I switch to my env with python2.5. On import lxml i got an error.

from lxml import etree
ImportError: /home/se7en/.virtualenvs/e-py25/lib/python2.5/site-packages/lxml-2.2.4-py2.5-linux-i686.egg/lxml/etree.so: undefined symbol: PyUnicodeUCS2_DecodeLatin1

With python2.7 env, all is ok but on python2.5 import fails. Please help to fix for python2.5 ?

ldd /home/se7en/.virtualenvs/e-py25/lib/python2.5/site-packages/lxml-2.2.4-py2.5-linux-i686.egg/lxml/etree.so

I un-installed the existing lxml (which I installed using sudo apt-get install python-lxml) by using the command sudo apt-get remove python-lxml. And I installed lxml 4.0.0 manually. This solved the problem for me. I think this new version is debugged one.
