Help - python doesn't see my init method.

Hi. 

        I seem to have succesfully installed Boost, which I am using to 
access C++ functions from python, and I am having a problem I don't 
understand at all.

        I succesfully compiled and ran the getting_started2 code, but 
when I try to build a shared library of a certain module, I get the following 
error:

>>> import CrGammaMod
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: dynamic module does not define init function 
(initCrGammaMod)
>>>

But I have defined it! Code below:
BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE_INIT(CrGammaMod)
{
  try
  {
    // Create an object representing this extension module.
    python::module_builder this_module("CrGammaMod");

    // Create the Python type object for our extension class.
    python::class_builder<CrGamma> CrGamma_class(this_module, 
"CrGamma");

    // Add the __init__ function.
    CrGamma_class.def(python::constructor<>());

    // Add a regular member function.
//     
CrGamma_class.def(&CrGamma::selectComponent,"selectComponent");
  }
  catch(...)
  {
    python::handle_exception(); // Deal with the exception for Python
  }
}

Here is my null constructor prototype:
   class CrGamma
   {
   public:
      CrGamma();
....

and my constructor:
   CrGamma::CrGamma()
   {
      int a=5;
   }

Why the heck doesn't this work!??? Is there a chance I am doing 
something broken with namespaces?

Thanks-
        Carter
