Semanage/libsemanage Python Errors

["Leffler, Sean" <LEFFLESA nv doe gov>]

I was trying to install latest refpolicy from tresys; to do so required
getting files from the development repo (checkpolicy, policycoreutils).
Policycoreutils requires a newer version of libsemanage. 
After installing libsemanage-1.6.17 I get this python error when running
semanage

# semange
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/semanage", line 24, in ?
    import seobject
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/seobject.py", line 25, in ?
    from semanage import *;
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/semanage.py", line 5, in ?
    import _semanage
ImportError: /lib/libsemanage.so.1: undefined symbol:
selinux_file_context_local_path

Any ideas on how to tackle this?
Thanks gents,

Sean
