A very common problem that new users have is that they have installed the necessary dependencies (CFITSIO, WCSLIB, and GSL) in `/usr/local/lib', however, this directory is not in their LD_LIBRARY_PATH. I am not sure how, but it it seems the ./configure script uses that directory when it is checking the libraries. So they can successfully ./configure and make Gnuastro.

This was an important issue and was noticed from the early Gnuastro tests. It is also included in the "Known issues" section of the book (after `make check'):
http://www.gnu.org/software/gnuastro/manual/html_node/Known-issues.html
However, it would be great help to the new users who still don't understand these environment variables clearly if we can set up this test at configure time.
