Research direction

Start by locating the nemo-python startup code that references libpython2.7 and inspect how the library path is selected on 64-bit systems. Reproduce the startup failure on Mint 15 x64 if possible, then verify that nemo-python finds the expected Python library path without breaking other platforms.

Description
