Yes, that's what you get when you link cvisualmodule.so with Fink's 
libboost_python.dylib that was compiled with the system python2.3. To 
work around this, you can link with the static libboost_python.a by 
changing "-lboost_python" to "/sw/lib/libboost_python.a" at the right 
place in src/Makefile.in.

A better fix would be to build libboost_python.dylib with python2.5, but 
as I mentioned in one of my earlier messages, there is currently no Fink 
package that does this. I'll make one soon if I have some time left.
