Pythons 'Py_Initialize: Unable to get the locale encoding', error isnt
that helpful, but we can't override this with a more helpful one.

What happened is it found blenders "2.56/python" dir but not
"2.56/python/lib/python3.2".

running "make install" is a requirement now, see:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2.5/Doc/Building_Blender/Linux/Ubuntu/CMake#Building_Blender

There is also a message when blender finished building:
  "now run: "make install" to copy runtime files & scripts to
/data/src/blender/cmake_debug/bin/./2.56"

The only reason not to run "make install" is if you're a developer
rebuilding a lot there is no need to copy the files every time,
or using "release/scripts" dir directly by running blender from
blenders source root.
