When using using rubypython-0.5.3 with python2.7 in Debian (testing) observe the following:

Excavations have shown that rubypython can not find libpython2.7.so, because the public library located in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/:

$ ls -l /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      51 Jun  2 18:19 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython2.7.a -> ../python2.7/config-x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython2.7.a
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      17 Jun  2 18:19 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython2.7.so -> libpython2.7.so.1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      19 Jun  2 18:19 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython2.7.so.1 -> libpython2.7.so.1.0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3262616 Jun  2 18:19 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython2.7.so.1.0

Options to fix: add the path matching condition /usr/lib/*-linux-gnu/ to the search libraries path.

Offered as a fix: solooboroten/rubypython@88cf287

I have this version works fine.
