 From "info ld":

`-rpath DIR'
      Add a directory to the runtime library search path.  This is used
      when linking an ELF executable with shared objects.  All `-rpath'
      arguments are concatenated and passed to the runtime linker, which
      uses them to locate shared objects at runtime.  The `-rpath'
      option is also used when locating shared objects which are needed
      by shared objects explicitly included in the link; see the
      description of the `-rpath-link' option.  If `-rpath' is not used
      when linking an ELF executable, the contents of the environment
      variable `LD_RUN_PATH' will be used if it is defined.

I suppose python-gconf has been compiled using the -rpath option. Don't 
know how to dump the rpath setting, but the library does contain the 
string "/usr/lib" so it seems likely.

Any reason why sugar tries to use the system-supplied Python wrapper in 
combination with a locally installed gconf library? How do you ensure 
those two match exactly, given that the Python wrapper is compiled 
_before_ the library?
