on linux, usually *all* library files are stored in dedicated 
directories like /lib /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib you can then acces the 
lib just by 'nameofFile'. example: if you have 
'/usr/lib/libqt-mt.so.3.3.4' installed, you only need to tell the 
compiler to use the library 'qt-mt'. You can create a seperate lib 
directory for your project, but you probably need to set some 
environment variables for that. I believe pyrex is your friend when 
dealing with C libraries in python.
