I agree with David. The .so name must exist; if it doesn't, your
installation does indeed lack the necessary prerequisite.
Closing as invalid.

R. David Murray added the comment:
Are you sure it isn't your Fedora installation that has the problem? My
understanding is that the linker name (the libxxx.so name) should exist
and be a symbolic link to the most recent soname (libxxx.N). So I think
distutils is doing the right thing.
