Python refuses to import SVN

[Tomas]

Dear group.
I have some big problems getting python to work with svn.
Python SVN and SWIG is compiled from source.
I have been testing Python 2.5.1 and 2.4.4 together with SWIG 1.3.25 and
1.3.33 and SVN 1.4.5 and 1.4.6

All combinations creates the same problem:

[root at OldStream libsvn]# python
Python 2.4.4 (#1, Feb 25 2008, 08:46:36)
[GCC 3.4.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from svn import core
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "/usr/local/lib/svn-python/svn/core.py", line 19, in ?
    from libsvn.core import *
  File "/usr/local/lib/svn-python/libsvn/core.py", line 5, in ?
    import _core
ImportError: File not found
>>> from svn import core
Segmentation fault
[root at OldStream libsvn]#

I just can't figure out what the heck is wrong.
Can someone please help me with this.
I did a gdb session on the same, but to be honest, the output tells me
nothing.

"/usr/local/lib/svn-python" is in in svn.pth in "site-packages"
Also tried to move libsvn and svn to "site-packages" without any luck
