I have no idea why vendors don't supply static libraries. It's not like disk space is expensive these days.
Many of them do supply static libraries, but they are part of a different package. At least on Red Hat-based systems, if you have a libblotto package, it only installs the dynamic libraries. If you want to link statically, then you need libblotto-devel. So you may just need some -devel packages. The problems with statically linking have already been pretty well covered here by someone else. --Greg
