Okay, so this is not so much a problem with Python, but a general shared
library problem. I made a symlink in /usr/lib to real library in
sharedmodules and that has corrected the problem. I'll have to figure out
what exactly needs to be done on SGI to change the path for shared
libraries. Thanx, guys.
