I'd say it's a dynamic linking problem.  After a little digging in 
Google (by the way, most search results are related to your(?) 
unanswered question on stackoverflow. meh...) I've found a few things 
which may be related:

* http://mail.python.org/pipermail/cplusplus-sig/2005-February/008216.html
* 
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2006-February/msg00192.html
* http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2002-May/023923.html

The first link provides a good suggestion that should catch undefined 
symbols at link-time. Although you'll be using -lpython2.6 these days!

The second and third links refer to dlopen() and the RTLD_GLOBAL flag, 
which Py_Initialize() should be taking care of. Not sure about the state 
of this,; both list threads are old.


But, I'm no Python expert; just trying to help out!
