havoc has already explained the basics.

for every library that you want to link statically, you have to have a
static copy of the library, typically called "libsomething.a". if you
don't have them on your system, all too common in an age where people
are just downloading RPMs without any real clue of what they are or
whats in them, you'll need to get them either by finding a -devel RPM,
or by building it from source yourself.
