Thanx again!!!! I already have tried "upgrade glib2" and it did produce static libraries! It did complained a little about libiconv (just in case, I have attached all messages at the bottom of this e-mail) Andrei On Dec 1, 2007, at 15:07 , Ryan Schmidt wrote:

Thanks for quick response. While you fixing it, could you do the same with ImageMagic? It does not install any static libraries either.

ImageMagick is a bit of a different case. Its default is to build static libraries, but the port specifically requested that static libraries be disabled, and it has done so since the port was created in r2591 on 2003-05-08.

Enabling the static libraries seems to work though so I changed this in r31651. Wait 12 hours and you should be able to install version 6.3.7-1_1 which includes this fix.
