You need to link against additional libraries. To find out which ones,
doing a ldd (or whatever the SunOS equivalent of it is) on the python
executable should tell you.

Does this work for you, too?:

    from distutils.sysconfig import get_config_var
    print get_config_var("LIBS") + " " + get_config_var("SYSLIBS")

It seems to work for some people, but not for everybody.
