I'm not a library package expert, and don't know which .so files the program
looks for.   However, I'm following the protocol outlined in
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/ReviewGuidelines , specifically the line
"MUST: If a package contains library files with a suffix (e.g. libfoo.so.1.1),
then library files that end in .so (without suffix) must go in a -devel
package."  Furthermore, I have tested that kst runs fine without the kst-devel
pacakge installed.
