It depends on which version you're using and how it's configured.


On my system, the `ldd $(whence emacs)` command reports

Since you're apparently using the C shell, you probably want to use
`which emacs` instead of $(whence emacs).  Hopefully your system has
ldd or something equivalent to list the library dependencies of an
executable.
