Yes.  I think the static library was only split out into its own RPM
from a relatively recent Fedora (whichever was being developed in
Feb-Mar 2011, as that's when we hit this same error), but it's preferable
to link dynamically in all cases.  I believe the library was split out because
pretty much everything else links dynamically and doesn't need it.
