I've got something pretty similar here - OSX 10.3.5 and xcode 1.5 I
downloaded raptor 1.3.2, rasqal 0.9.2, redlabd 0.9.18,
redland-bindings-0.19.18.1 and did the following, which puts it all
into the default /usr/local.

  PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH

  tar xfz raptor-1.3.2.tar.gz
  cd raptor-1.3.2
  ./configure
  make
  sudo make install
  cd ..

  tar xfz rasqal-0.9.2.tar.gz
  cd rasqal-0.9.2
  ./configure
  make
  sudo make install
  cd ..

  tar xfz redland-0.9.18.tar.gz
  cd redland-0.9.18
  ./configure
  make
  sudo make install
  cd ..

  tar xfz redland-bindings-0.9.18.1.tar.gz
  cd redland-bindings-0.9.18.1
  ./configure
  cd python
  make
  make check

which worked ok.

So, python loads the local Redland.so file which here
has the initRedland:
  $ nm Redland.so | grep initRedland
  000078a8 T _initRedland

Maybe you could 'make clean' in the python dir and email the output
of a 'make' there.

Another suggestion is an older installed Redland.so somewhere that
python finds it?
