If you read the README for the Python wrapper, you'll see that you  
need to do a "make install" before you build the wrapper.  
Unfortunately, I don't know enough about the Python build scripts to  
have it search both the build directory and the standard system  
directories.

But if you run "make install" for the Open Babel library, then  
libopenbabel will be available system-wide, including for the Python  
wrapper.
