How is this possible?

[Paul Schmehl]

I'm working on a new port (as is my custom any time I want to try out some new 
software), and I've run into an inexplicable problem.

Error: shared library "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pcapy.so" does 
not exist
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/security/rishi.
root at utd59514# ls -lsa /usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pcapy.so
22 -rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  22110 Feb 12 16:03 
/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pcapy.so

The Makefile has:
LIB_DEPENDS+=   ${PYTHON_SITELIBDIR}/pcapy.so:${PORTSDIR}/net/py-pcapy

How is it possible to get "the file doesn't exist" when the file does in fact 
exist?  Very weird.
