What do you get when you run "ldd /usr/local/python22/lib/libboost_python.so"?

What do you get when you run "ld /path/to/_PythonMagick.so"?

The path in the above ldd command line will probably be
/usr/local/python22/lib/python2.2/site-packages/PythonMagick -- but it
might be /usr/local/python22/lib/python2.2/site-packages (with no
/PythonMagick at the end).

If either one of those (especially the second) gives any "Not found"
results, then that's the problem. Does your /etc/ld.so.conf include
/usr/local/python22/lib?
