"The Linux Foundation has just released a beta of a new program, Linux Application Checker (AppChecker), that's going to make independent software vendors and other programmers start to love developing for Linux." This program checks your application against different versions of the Linux Standard Base (LSB), and against all the Linux distributions in the LSB Database. After the test is done it will present a report about the compatibility status of your application with the various distributions, and which external libraries and interfaces your application uses.

I had this problem when trying to install a plugin for R from R-cran recently. Most of the dependancies were easy to find but one Fortran one was totally obscure. It turned out (after a having to do a web search) that it was for was for libblas. Their seems to be a lot of confusion about the naming of the required BLAS libraries on Linux (maybe on other Unix like systems too).
