The problem sounds as if the module doesn't have an init function.
Are you writing this module? Is it written in C? In a C module, 
there must be a function named init[module-name]. So for a module
named "XYZ" a function "initXYZ" must exist.

I suppose something which could cause this error to occur would
be the presence of a library XYZ.so somewhere in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH
ahead of the library you really wanted to import. This could cause
great confusion.

I've never seen this problem myself, however.
