Nope, this is what I have:

/usr/lib64/libgthread.so
/usr/lib64/libgthread-2.0.so
/usr/lib64/libgthread-1.2.so.0
/usr/lib64/libgthread-1.2.so.0.0.10

*but*, just downloaded the source rpm and looked at the .spec file. It contains the following few lines in the %build section:

%configure --disable-static
[...]
## Unpackaged files
# info
%{__rm} -rf %{buildroot}%{_infodir}
# .la fies... die die die.
%{__rm} -rf %{buildroot}%{_libdir}/lib*.la
# despite use of --disable-static, delete static libs that get built anyway
%{__rm} -rf %{buildroot}%{_libdir}/lib*.a


So, somebody at Fedora doesn't like static (.a) files very much, it seems. I could easily correct this, enable static building and have these installed, I think.

 If not you need to install it. Similarly you'll need
> a static libglib-2.0.
Here, things are a bit easier - even though I do have the glib2-devel and glib2 packages installed, looking at the source rpm there is a separate package called glib2-static, so I'll just install it and get on with it.

I presume after doing all this I need to rerun the stripped-down version of ./configure again, right? If so, I'll do just that and let you know how it goes.
