Re: [libextractor] problems with python binding...

[Christian Grothoff]

I think the problem is that you installed it in /usr/local, and the library 
search path for your Python installation does not look there.  Try either 
setting the path (some environment variable, I forgot which one) or install 
to /usr (configure --prefix=/usr).

Cheers!

Christian (or of course ask Heiko, he knows better than I do what maybe wrong 
here :-))
