Dependencies are installed with the 'install' target which works only
once. tcllib is probably not being installed because it needs cleaning
out. Be sure to run

	# make clean

in your port directory before you build to make sure dependencies are
cleaned out.

That's right. You're not providing a filename, you're providing a
library name and version number.

Here's a sample output line from ldconfig -r:

        604:-lds.1 => /usr/local/lib/libds.so.1
              ^^^^
              This is the part it searches for, hence the format of the
              first part of the LIB_DEPENDS tuple.
              It can be matched with either 'ds' (no version specified)
              or 'ds.1' (major version 1)
