[CIG-SHORT] Pylith 1.0.2 binary runtime error on Linux

Ravi-

On linux systems the relevant environment variables are PATH, 
PYTHONPATH, and LD_LIBRARY_PATH. If these are not all consistent, then 
odd things will happen. I would follow the following steps to make sure 
you are getting a consistent set of files:

1. Verify location of nemesis binary.
which nemesis
2. Verify location of pylith script.
which pylith
3. Check location of libraries linked with nemesis
ldd `which nemesis`
4. Check location of pylith Python files
python
import pylith
pylith.__file__
5. Check libaries linked to pylith Python modules
cd PREFIX/lib/python2.5/site-packages
ldd topologymodule.so

When testing the linux binaries, I clear out my PATH, PYTHONPATH, and 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH variables so that they only see the system directories 
and none of the PyLith, etc development files.
