fedora 11 and panda3d

Installation
14

Ok, after doing some reading on how rpmbuild works I got it to generate the RPM. I substituted the command that was being used

rpmbuild --define '_rpmdir /home/scuac/Download/panda3d-1.6.2' -bb panda3d.spec

with

rpmbuild --root /home/scuac/panda3d-1.6.2 --buildroot linuxroot -bb panda3d.spec

this generated the file
/home/scuac/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/panda3d-1.6.2-1.x86_64.rpm
which is roughly 37MB in size

I then installed the RPM with no error message. The problem now is that when I try to execute a simple sample it crashes.

The sample file is test.py which contains

import direct.directbase.DirectStart
run()

and the error I get is

$ python test.py 
DirectStart: Starting the game.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test1.py", line 1, in <module>

  File "/usr/share/panda3d/pandac/extension_native_helpers.py", line 69, in Dtool_PreloadDLL
    raise ImportError, message
ImportError: DLL loader cannot find libpandaexpress.

Is this related to a malformed RPM or is something else going on here?
