That's because you use Boost.Build, isn't it?  Most problems building
or running Boost.Python extensions come from getting "creative" with
build systems ;->.  Jose, please try your test using Boost.Build first
according to the instructions at
http://www.boost.org/libs/python/doc/building.html

(or, if you're using the CVS version,
http://www.boost-consulting.com/boost/libs/python/doc/building.html)

It's fairly painless, and once you've done it that way you can
translate the results to happen under distutils or whatever your
preferred method might be.
