No, they do not. In the postinstall section of the RPM spec file we run ldconfig after all the files have been installed. ldconfig is smart enough to look in all the subdirs of /usr/lib and put them in the library search path as well. The postun section also runs ldconfig after all the files have been removed.
Also note that /usr/lib is used for 32 bit installs ONLY! For 64 bit installs we use /usr/lib64. So the shared libraries will be in either in /usr/lib/ooRexx or /usr/lib64/ooRexx. I have tested the rpm install on every rpm-based distribution I have available. I am running a version of 4.1.0 on my laptop and I have created RexxGTK and orxncurses without any problem with linking. Is there a specific distribution you are having a problem with?
