The problem is probably that libomniORB3.so is not on your
LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or somewhere else searched by ld.so). The confusing
thing is that _omnipymodule.so is found on PYTHONPATH, but
libomniORB3.so is found by the normal run-time linker. That means
Python can find one but not the other, despite the fact that they are
in the same place.

Cheers,

Duncan.
