You should never rely on environment variables set in user environment being inherited because when box reboots it will fail. As I said before, WSGIPythonHome doesn't help with which shared library is found, only the runtime Python installation prefix. Your comments before suggested sys.path was correct which indicated that WSGIPythonHome was at least doing it job correctly. As per the documented I directed you to, the important value is sys.prefix and what that is set to within mod_wsgi. WSGIPythonHome should work so long as mod_python not loaded, you get the prefix you give it correct, Apache can read the directories for the installation and you haven't managed to inherit user environment variables that screw it all up. >> What do you mean here?

Setting LD_RUN_PATH in user environment when building mod_wsgi should work. I can't say what you have done wrong as you haven't supplied exact logs of what commands you ended up running to build it and what subsequent ldd output was. Also don't know what other user environment variables you had set which could cause problems. Anyway, if you have got it working then doesn't matter I guess.
