I use the package named python-snappy. This package requires [snappy](https://code.google.com/p/snappy/) library. So, I download and install snappy successfully by the following commands such as:

```
./configure
make
sudo make install

```

When I import snappy, I receive the errors:

```
from _snappy import CompressError, CompressedLengthError, \
ImportError: libsnappy.so.1 cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

```

I'm using Python 2.7, snappy, python-snappy and Ubuntu 12.04
How can I fix this problem?
Thanks
