Trouble building static wireshark

Hi all,

I wanted to make a static version of the current stable wireshark so I used:

./configure --enable-static

When I type make it builds for a while then exits with the following error:
______________________________________________________________________
/usr/bin/ld: attempted static link of dynamic object `/usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
______________________________________________________________________

The file the error is referring to exists. Any ideas?

Do you have the static GTK+ library installed? The library referred to in the error message is the dynamic library. The static library should be named libgtk-x11-2.0.a
