LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/X11R6/lib

or if the LD_LIBRARY_PATH exists already, append to it;

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/X11R6/lib

then

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Now try running your Python script and see if this helps.  If so, read
about ld.config and add that lib to the standard config on the
workstation if you plan on having that NFS mount all the time.

You might also check to insure that the lib that you are "seeing" is
actually a file and not a symlink to nowhere and that the file has
appropriate perms for a shared lib r-x is typical.
