Installing gphoto2 to use the python binding not working

I want to use the Python bindings that are available for gphoto2 and this requires a build from their tarballs. My first step is simply to build gphoto2 such that it recognizes my camera and thus far I have not been successful. Everything appears to build successfully, my camera is listed as a type that should be recognized...but it is not. However, when I install gphotot2 via apt-get it works.

My testing is being done on clean copies of Ubuntu running as VMs to keep libraries from getting intermingled.

Help would be appreciated!
