I might have figured out the problem, it is probably in the underlying
lapack library:

(ok, no error message from Python)

added tf to path (from a local print added to
geometry/tf/src/tf/listener.py)

This works fine in a Python session (load _rxtoolscpp.so):
acer % python

>>> import roslib
>>> roslib.load_manifest('rxtools')
>>> import _rxtoolscpp
>>>

So all I can do is wait for the lapack library to be fixed again, the
problem is not related to my ROS port.
