Did you use the --enable-shared option when building Python? (And also the 
LDFLAGS -rpath setting mentioned there)  IIRC, the last time I saw errors 
like this the problem was either the lack of the shared library, or unable 
to find it, or similar. 

Also, you may have already installed everything you need, but for the 
record here is how I bootstrap a CentOS 7 vagrant box to prepare it for 
building 
wxPython: https://github.com/wxWidgets/Phoenix/blob/master/vagrant/centos-7/bootstrap.sh. 
The main thing to note is the use of the 
centos7.iuscommunity.org packages to get non-standard versions of Python 
installed. I haven't checked but they may have CentOS 6 support and 
ready-made Python 2.7 packages that you can install.
