I'm trying to install whatbetter in Ubuntu Natty 11.04. I've already install python 2.7, so...

sudo pip install mechanize mutagen lxml BeautifulSoup argparse
Downloading/unpacking mutagen
Running setup.py egg_info for package mutagen

Running setup.py egg_info for package mechanize

Downloading/unpacking lxml

Building lxml version 2.3.3.
Building without Cython.
ERROR: /bin/sh: xslt-config: not found

** make sure the development packages of libxml2 and libxslt are installed **
...

I try to install the missing dependencies and get this:

sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev
Reading package lists... Done

Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libxml2-dev : Depends: libxml2 (= 2.7.8.dfsg-2) but 2.7.8.dfsg-2ubuntu0.1 is to be installed
E: Broken packages

Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.
