Static libraries come in "*.a" archives, you may try to search for them in your current distro. There may be another possible problems with a static linking, not only technical (like LGPL license that requires the possibility to relink with different libraries version) > If there is another way to get my app to run on a computer that does not have > GTK or maybe an earlier version than that used for my app let me know thanks. You can provide dynamic GTK binaries with your program and use smth like LD_LIBRARY_PATH pointing to them.
