I second that this is the likely culprit.  I got bit by it while trying to
do cross compile.  The module build process assumes a couple of locations that
a particular library might be and takes the first one it finds, regardless of
which one you actually want it to use.  I ended up making modifications to
what modules were installed to get md5 to finally import.

My experiences are outlined at this page:
