That's not what I meant.  What I meant is that Tcl extras are installed
under /usr/lib/tcl, not directly under /usr/lib.  I have no idea about
the TEA, but it looks wrong to install Tcl stuff to /usr/lib.  Perl
stuff is under /usr/lib/perl, python stuff is under /usr/lib/python,
ruby stuff is under /usr/lib/ruby... you get the idea.

Also, even if sqlite3.8.2 and sqlite382.dll works, it's kind of
puzzeling.  Are you saying using sqlite3 and libtclsqlite3.so on Fedora
is wrong, not following TEA?  It's much easier to grok and doesn't
wrongly imply it only works on a specificx sqlite 3.x.x version, IMHO.
