[Paraview] python error when importing paraview.simple with paraview 5.0

[sean read]

So I've downloaded paraview5.0 from the website
http://www.paraview.org/download/nload/ <http://www.paraview.org/download/>,
and set my python path as

:/home/sean/bin/ParaView-5.0.1-Qt4-OpenGL2-MPI-Linux-64bit/lib/paraview-5.0:/home/sean/bin/ParaView-5.0.1-Qt4-OpenGL2-MPI-Linux-64bit/lib/paraview-5.0/site-packages/vtk:/home/sean/bin/ParaView-5.0.1-Qt4-OpenGL2-MPI-Linux-64bit/bin:/home/sean/bin/ParaView-5.0.1-Qt4-OpenGL2-MPI-Linux-64bit/lib/paraview-5.0/site-packages

When I import paraview.simple in python I get the error message

ImportError: libvtkCommonCorePython27D-pv5.0.so.1: cannot open shared
object file: No such file or directory

but libvtkCommonCorePython27D-pv5.0.so.1 is in
/home/sean/bin/ParaView-5.0.1-Qt4-OpenGL2-MPI-Linux-64bit/lib/paraview-5.0,
which is in my python path.

PV python is functioning as normal

I am running linux mint 17.3

Any suggestions?
