The dynamic loader cannot find the python shared library. There are at least 2 options: 1. Add path that contains the shared library to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. In a bash shell this can be accomplished by: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/python_shared_lib: $LD_LIBRARY_PATH 2. Add path to dynamic linker configuration file. This typically is in '/etc/ld.so.conf'. See man page for ld for more information.
Note that I assumed that you are on a Unix/Linux machine.

3. Set LD_RUN_PATH before you link the shared library or use the -rlink option of the linker, see man(1) ld.

Yes, this was it. Don't forget to run ldconfig after you've changed /etc/ld.so.conf
It's frustrating how the contents of this file vary from distro to distro, particularly w.r.t. /usr/local/lib :-(
