Importing etree misses libxslt

[blankclemens]

Hello everyone,

when installing lxml in a Python 2 environment I cannot import etree from it:

from lxml import etree                                                                             │
ImportError: libiconv.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

There is a package libiconv on conda-forge which will change this issue to libicui18n.so.58 being the missing one.

I assume this is not really related to the package itself but rather conda or the underlying system, but I also don't know where better to ask. ;-)

Happens on Ubuntu 16.04 and it's possible to work around by using Python outside a conda environment with the apt lxml package.

Looking at #10 it shows that installing the conda-forge package libxslt will solve this issue - should that be added to the requirements?

Take a look at http://conda-forge.github.io/docs/conda-forge_gotchas.html

Everything should work fine if conda-forge has higher preference in your channel list.
