“The fantastic lxml wrapper for libxml2 is required by inkex.py and therefore this extension”

After many hours of trying to find a solution I got it to work. This is what I did:

sudo easy_install lxml
cd /Applications/Inkscape.app/Contents/Resources/lib
mv libxml2.2.dylib libxml2.2.dylib.old
ln -s /usr/lib/libxml2.dylib

After that, all extensions (those found under the effects menu) started to work.

Update:
The problem seems to be fixed on the latest development version.

Update 2:
Fixed typo. Thanks to Bill Gathen for your comment.
