I've been trying to install lxml using pip install lxml and I get the error below. I've used apt-get install python-dev libxml2 libxml2-dev libxslt-dev before (suggested in other answers) but I still get the same error. I did not use control-c.

Try this to get the deps:
apt-get build-dep python-lxml
I had exactly this problem. Turned out to be a memory problem - I was installing reporter.py, which depends on lxml, on a server with only 500MB RAM, of which only 150MB was free. I killed off a few things to get up to ~300MB free, and just managed to squeeze out the installation of lxml. (Watching TOP showed available memory going down to 4MB at one point!)
