samba - Feb 2014 - samba4.1.4 samba-tool fails to join domain

All,
     I have compiled and installed samba with no errors on OmniOS 
151.008j-r1.  Reading the following wiki to join to an existing AD domain:

https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4/HOWTO/Join_a_domain_as_a_DC

All steps go through with out any issues until I run:

bin/samba-tool domain join engr.colostate.edu DC -Uadministrator 
--realm=engr.colostate.edu --dns-backend=BIND9_DLZ

I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "bin/samba-tool", line 33, in <module>
     from samba.netcmd.main import cmd_sambatool
   File 
"/opt/samba-4.1.4/lib/python2.6/site-packages/samba/__init__.py", line
27, in <module>
     import samba.param
ImportError: No module named param

I cannot find the samba.param file in the samba install folder anywhere. 
  Looking like something didn't go right during the install?

I did just basic configure command:
./configure --prefix=/opt/samba-4.1.4
make
make install

My guess is there is something else, perhaps an old pre-4.0
installation, that is providing the 'samba' namespace, but not the
bindings implemented in C.  This also happens if there is a
site-packages under both PREFIX/lib and PREFIX/lib64.

Otherwise, it's a bit odd.  The big hammer I use when trying to find and
fix this kind of thing is strace, trying to work out what directories it
looks in, and therefore which ones might be 'blocking' it finding the
real samba/param.so.
