Python 2.2 dynamic library problem on Compaq Tru64

This is a shot in the dark, but maybe someone here has a clue to this error 
(my Unix admin doesn't).

I compiled and installed Python 2.2 on a Compaq server running Tru64 v5.0.   
I am using cx_Oracle to access an Oracle 8.1.6.2 database.  Running my 
scripts at the unix prompt, all is well.  When I run them through cron, I get 
this error:

> Traceback (most recent call last):
>   File "/usr/users/stauffer/python/dbamon/dbchk.py", line 3, in ?
>     import cx_Oracle, os, sys, smtplib
> ImportError: dlopen: cannot load
> /usr/local/lib/python2.2/site-packages/cx_Oracle.so

I've copied the cx_Oracle.so into a variety of locations - the local script 
directory, site-packages, lib-dynload - with the same results.  

Any clues about how to get this working would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Glenn Stauffer
