Run:

find /opt -name libpython3.3m.so.1.0

as root. If it returns NO results, you will have to run this instead:

find / -name libpython3.3m.so.1.0 2> /dev/null

But if it returns ONE result, take that result and extract the path. Say it 
returns:

/this/that/libpython3.3m.so.1.0


then the path you want is /this/that (without the / at the end). Edit 
/etc/ld.so.conf and add this line to the end:

/this/that

Save your changes, run ldconfig again, and hopefully python3 will now work.


If ldconfig gives you any errors, tell us what they are.
