pyexiv2 import error libexiv2.so.12 not found
<p>I'm running Centos 6.3 with python 2.6 and trying to use pyexiv2, but I'm getting an import error, file not found when I import pyexiv2. Here is the text of the error</p>

<pre>
     Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/chuck/bin/pylib/test.py", line 13, in 
    import pyexiv2
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/pyexiv2/__init__.py", line 60, in 
    import libexiv2python
ImportError: libexiv2.so.12: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
</pre>

<p>However, libexiv2.so.12 is in /usr/local/lib. How can I make this visible to python?</p>

<p>How I installed pyexiv2:<br>
I removed the stock exiv2 and built the latest version, 0.23, from source. I used the build defaults and it installed into /usr/local. I installed the stock boost libraries, version 1.41.  I downloaded the latest pyexiv2 and built that using the recommended build tool scons. After I got the import error I put a soft link to libexiv2.so.12 in /lib. Also, my ld.so.conf contains a listing for /usr/local/lib.   </p>

<p>Any help is greatly appreciated.</p>
