Ansible for Netapp on windows 10 Intel 64bit

raj_shrivastava11 — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 11:13:24 GMT

Hi Guys,

I have installed Ansible via Cygwin on My Windows 10 laptop which is Intel based 64-bit.

I can see all Netapp modules but when i try to install Netapp-lib it fails at Building wheel for lxml (setup.py) ... error.

I have found pre-package lxml but i dont see any package for intel-64bit. I can see for 32bit and amd64bit and when i try to install any of these 2 it says platform not compatible which is obvious.

Any way to get it installed on Intel based 64-bit?

Raj

Both 32bit and amd64bit should work. Intel and AMD use the same x86 64bit extension. AMD invented it, thats why it is often referenced as amd64.

Thanks. I have attached an error msg which i get while installing Netapp-Lib. Tried with both 32 and 64 bit installation of lxml seperately also but nothing works.

$ pip3.7 install lxml-4.5.0-cp37-cp37m-win32.whl

I don't know much about cygwin. What about the lxml module provided by them? https://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-cat.cgi?file=x86_64%2Fpython3-lxml%2Fpython3-lxml-3.4.4-1&grep=lxml

When i try to install lxml it seems it has 4.5 package already but fails during build as shown in error.

$ pip3.7 install lxml

Does cygwin have development packages of those? If not then it may be a no-go feature.

The error message is pretty obvious. Install the cygwin packages for libxml2 and libxlst.

Thanks for help. I could able to install the packages by re-running the cygwin setup. I am able to install Netapp-Lib and run my ansible playbooks now.

Thanks a lot.
