I'll start off by saying that I am a compiling novice, so bear with me please. I have a library which is being plugged into a game server to provide extra functionality. The library is currently linked against libpq like so `gcc -shared -lpq`. It compiles and runs great as long as people have libpg installed. I'm trying to find a way to remove this dependency so I googled around and found that `-shared` needed to be `- static` and to add `-lcrypt` also. However, the linker is now failing and tossing me lots of "undefined reference" messages to things like "krb5_free_context" (I've attached the full log). I'd appreciate any suggestions on getting a statically linked library against libpq. I'm currently compiling on a Fedora Core 3 machine with gcc-2.95.3 against the postgresql-libs-7.4.6-1.FC3.2 package.
