Yes I am trying to link dynamically. I'm confused - I thought using -l was
dynamic linking and specifying -static and supplying .a files does static
linking. Furthermore, when I link the exact same test.c file with the same
gcc args against a libgroove installation that was built from source rather
than from the PPA, it successfully links and runs. What could explain this
behavior?
