But `ldd' will, even if they're not installed:

        (footbridge) /usr > ldd `which emacs`
        /usr/local/bin/emacs:
                -lXaw.6 => not found (0x0)
                -lXmu.6 => not found (0x0)
                -lXt.6 => not found (0x0)
                -lSM.6 => not found (0x0)
                -lICE.6 => not found (0x0)
                -lXext.6 => not found (0x0)
                -lX11.6 => not found (0x0)
                -lutil.2 => /usr/lib/libutil.so.2.2 (0x80d1000)
                -ltermcap.2 => /usr/lib/libtermcap.so.2.1 (0x80d7000)
                -lm.2 => /usr/lib/libm.so.2.0 (0x80db000)
                -lc.2 => /usr/lib/libc.so.2.2 (0x80f4000)

The `not found' ones all happen to be X libraries, in this case.

It just goes to show what you can do if you're a total psychotic.
