>Description:
building the lang/python (2.3.1_1) port using the BUILD_SHARED knob results
in the following message when trying to invoke python after installing:

/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libpython2.3.so" not found

The libpython2.3.so file is created and is in /usr/local/lib after installation; 
however ldd says it can not be found:

$ ldd /usr/local/bin/python
/usr/local/bin/python:
        libpython2.3.so => not found (0x0)       

>How-To-Repeat:
cd /usr/ports/lang/python
BUILD_SHARED=1 make install

>Fix:
