Hi Daniel,

If you can, maybe you should think about switching to the automake/autoconf/etc.
tools, they make Makefiles much easier to maintain (I think).

Comment out your LIBFILE line, and work out what it all expands to. On my
machine, this would be:

LIBFILE = -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lpthread -lm -L/usr/local/lib \
	-L/usr/X11R6/lib -lgtk -lgdk -rdynamic -lgmodule \
	-lgthread -lglib -lpthread -ldl -lXext -lX11 -lm \
	
Now insert the static/dynamic pairs around all the dodgy looking libraries. In
my experience, you need to statically link against:

	-lgtk -lgdk -lgmodule -lgthread -lglib 

and no others. Your mileage may vary :-)
