 This will report all libraries that are needed by Obit. If one is missing, the line will contain the text "=> not found".

+==== libncurses.so.6 is missing ====
+Q: Why is libncurses.so.6 reported to be missing during the AIPS install?
+A: The AIPS install may fail because the libncurses.so.6 library cannot be found. This library is available in the lib subdirectory of the spam install directory. The library can be copied to one of the standard locations (e.g., /usr/lib) or the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable can be modified to include the spam/lib directory before running AIPS install again. The latter can be done in bash:
+<code bash>
+export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:${SPAM_PATH}/lib
+</code>
+Or in (t)csh:
+<code bash>
+setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:${SPAM_PATH}/lib
+</code>
