    It's not building lib_renderPM_libart properly, or it's a typo
that supposed to be librenderPM_libart, or bad LDFLAGS...
    More details need to be provided like an ls of your site-packages
directory and a partial ls of your local library directory (ls
/usr/?local/?lib/lib*render*libart*, etc).
