Dear Shamika,

Maybe you already know, but when you invoke `./configure --help` you get a
short description of all possible options.  So I think "--enable-shared
--enable-dl" is exactly the opposite of what you are trying to achieve? 
Shouldn't you configure using something like "--enable-static --disable-dl"? 
I didn't compile myself this way, maybe just as a hint.

HTH,
Kai
