Okay, so I finally got around to running it, but I'm not sure how reliable it 
is.  Right off the bat I get:

Looking at dialog
/usr/bin/dialog needs /lib/libncurses.so.5.
        Provided by ncurses, but not in DEPENDS.

but then I run the following:
jason@tbird:~$ gaze DEPENDS dialog
depends  ncurses

Which makes me wonder if I'm doing something wrong, or if findLibDepends2.sh 
is doing something wrong, or maybe it's doing exactly what it's supposed to 
be doing and I should just hand over the log file and quit trying to analyze 
it:
root@tbird:~# ll findLibDepends-results.txt
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 386484 2005-03-23 08:56 findLibDepends-results.txt

FYI, I just ran it straight with no options.  I'm running Test Sorcery and 
here's my codex:
jason@tbird:~$ scribe index

Is there anything different I should be doing?
