 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.
