(I really wanted to test more, but will post what I know this far in case someone else already have solved it.)
Sigil 0.9.9 on Linux Mint 18.3. All was well.
Upgraded to 19/Tara.
Now when trying to start Sigil, a windows pops up.
The window says: Embedded Python Error
Show Details gives:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/share/sigil/python3lib/xmlprocessor.py", line 6, in <module>
from sigil_bs4.builder._lxml import LXMLTreeBuilderForXML
File "/usr/local/share/sigil/plugin_launchers/python/sigil_bs4/builder/_lxml.py", line 26, in <module>
from lxml import etree
Clicking close gives a new window saying:
ImportError: cannot import name 'etree'
Show Details gives:
error in xmlprocessor repairXML: -2
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/share/sigil/python3lib/xmlprocessor.py", line 6, in <module>
from sigil_bs4.builder._lxml import LXMLTreeBuilderForXML
File "/usr/local/share/sigil/plugin_launchers/python/sigil_bs4/builder/_lxml.py", line 26, in <module>
from lxml import etree
ImportError: cannot import name 'etree'
Clicking close shows window 1 again and it repeats itself (win1 -> win2 -> win1 -> win2 -> win1 etc.). Have to kill it manually in CLI.

As python3 looked ok as far as I could tell (which is not much...) I thought I would try to compile Sigil again.
The step configure Sigil before build stopped. Got resolved by installing "qttools5-dev" (qttools5-dev-tools was already installed).
Now trying to run make:
/usr/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu-ld: cannot find -lzlib
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
zlib1g-dev is installed.
I googled some and tried to install pretty much anything I could find around "zlib".
And that's where I am right now.
