Sorry John, I've either missed something else or you need to use more words.

On my system, I have installed   tclx  using the above named RPM.
I can see that it has installed  /usr/lib/tclx8.4/libtclx8.4.so  but when I 
then try to run an executable which has been built against it, it fails to 
load because that file can't be found.

If I tweak my system or my environment I can make it work.  My question is 
shouldn't a well behaved RPM do that for me?
