Hello devs

On a Linux box, I've needed to install other then the system's libxml2 and libxslt. I've managed to compile lxml linking to the xml programs I've installed.

Now, if I try to install Silva 2.3 using buildout, the installation stops because the buildout tries to build lxml against the system's xml libraries and, thus, fails.

How can I advise buildout to use my already installed lxml?
I've compiled lxml 2.3 while the buildout tries to install lxml 2.2.8. Should I better compile lxml 2.2.8?
Or can I advise buildout to link against the xml programs I've installed?

Regards,
Benno
