Certainly, it shouldn't. libpython2.2.a is only a -link- library. You use it
to link C/C++ programs to your shared object.

If you had no libpython2.2.so, you couldn't ever run any Python program,
even python interpreter! If you can, you do have libpython2.2.so.

You showed a simple program. It can be compiled with gcc also. Try using it.
On Windows, I compile Python extensions/embeddings with MinGW gcc. g++
doesn't work. The errors are like yours.
