First off, be sure that you built Boost with GCC 3.3.6, and not
4.something.

Second - since cvisualmodule.so linked correctly, but the boost-python
library cannot be found by the runtime linker, find out where
Boost.Python was installed and also find out if that location is on the
library search path.  See ld.so(8) and ldconfig(8).  My hunch is that
Boost was installed under /usr/local and /usr/local/lib isn't
in /etc/ld.so.conf.

Finally, since libboost_python.so.1.33.0 cannot be found at all, if this
extension module was loaded by Python, you should get an ImportError or
somesuch when you try to "from visual import *".  Make sure you don't
have an older version of Visual installed somewhere.
