installing python 3.0rc1 on Linux

[tomohiro kusumi]

I installed python3.0 rc1 on Linux with --enable-shared option on configure
script.
But the python3.0 says there is no libpython3.0.so although there is one
under
/usr/local/lib. The /etc/ld.so.conf script has that path in it too.

# python3.0
python3.0: error while loading shared libraries: libpython3.0.so.1.0: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory

So I set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and now it works. I wonder why the python3.0
doesn't find the libpython under /usr/local/lib (which is the default
install path).

# export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
# python3.0
Python 3.0rc1 (r30rc1:66499, Oct  8 2008, 23:23:02)
