Earlier today I helped someone getting mbm_plot to work. One of the
missing steps was that his OSGeo Live USB installation lacked the mb
library in GMT's config.
Trying to run mbm_plot we ended up with an error about mbcontour not being
found. Searching the web I ended up on
https://www.ldeo.columbia.edu/res/pi/MB-
System/html/mbsystem_how_to_get.html
"In order for GMT to successfully execute the MB-System modules, the
location of the shared library containing these modules must be known to
GMT."
To achieve this, we edited GMT_CUSTOM_LIBS in gmt.conf to read:
{{{
GMT_CUSTOM_LIBS = /usr/lib/libmbgmt.so
}}}
Afterwards mbcontour worked fine.
