I don't think I've ever seen that exact error, but I would suspect
that your dynamic linker can't find the _pirxx.so or _pirxxmodule.so
shared library. I'm about to check out pirxx in the next few days, so
I might be able to comment further once I've installed it.

However, you should make sure that your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment
variable includes the directory where such a shared library can be
found, or that your linker's configuration is set up for that
directory; at this point, it becomes more of a Linux configuration
issue, really.
