ImportError: cannot open file of shared objects: no such file or directory

Question

I'm trying to use arac with PyBrain, and when I call net.convertToFastNetwork (), or when I try to import arac.pybrainbridge (import arac works fine), I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/home/pafnouti/Documents/Project/arac/src/python/arac/pybrainbridge.py", line 51, in <module>
    import arac.cppbridge as cppbridge
  File "/home/pafnouti/Documents/Project/arac/src/python/arac/cppbridge.py", line 31, in <module>
    _cppbridge = swig_import_helper()
  File "/home/pafnouti/Documents/Project/arac/src/python/arac/cppbridge.py", line 26, in swig_import_helper
    _mod = imp.load_module('_cppbridge', fp, pathname, description)
ImportError: libarac.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

What comes from this code:

    try:
        fp, pathname, description = imp.find_module('_cppbridge', [dirname(__file__)])
    except ImportError:
        import _cppbridge
        return _cppbridge
    if fp is not None:
        try:
            print fp,"\n", pathname,"\n", description
            _mod = imp.load_module('_cppbridge', fp, pathname, description) # Fails here
            print "OK!"
        finally:
            fp.close()
        return _mod

I have the same error if I call _cppbridge import directly. I saw such an error here, so I tried to solve it by saying:

locate libarac.so 
/usr/local/lib/libarac.so

Here libarac.so is a link to another place, but even when copying to / usr / local / lib it does not work

ls -l
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 10 May 23 03:05 libarac.so -> libarac.so

I tried changing LD_LIBRARY_PATH with:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib

And / etc / ld.so.conf, adding a new line with / usr / local / lib and calling sudo ldconfig but not changing anything.

NB: I'm on Fedora 20.
