+Troubleshooting
+---------------
+
+Some users have reported problems compiling the lxml library on OS X.  If you
+get a message that looks like this when installing:
+
+    src/lxml/lxml.etree.c:165674: fatal error: error writing to -: Broken pipe
+        compilation terminated.
+        lipo: can't open input file: /var/tmp//ccZmfWit.out (No such file or directory)
+        error: command 'gcc-4.2' failed with exit status 1
+
+Try running this command and installing again:
+
+    export ARCHFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch x86_64"
