Could it be related with this?

In fact in this configure.ac I found the static library is searched explicitly:
http://support.red-fone.com/fonulator/fonulator-1.5.1/configure.ac
```
# Optional shared linking with libfb
LIBFB=
AS_IF([test "x$with_shared_libfb" = xyes],
AC_CHECK_LIB([fb], [libfb_init],
[AC_SUBST([LIBFB], ["-lfb"])
AC_DEFINE([HAVE_LIBFB], [1], [Define to 1 if you have
libfb])
],
AC_MSG_FAILURE([test for libfb failed (required)])),
# otherwise, we need to link static libfb and also link in
libnet and libpcap
# Check for static libfb
AC_CHECK_FILE(/usr/local/lib/libfb.a,
[
AC_SUBST([LIBFB], ["/usr/local/lib/libfb.a"])
AC_DEFINE(HAVE_STATIC_LIBFB, 1, [Define to 1 if you have the
static version of libfb in the right place.])
],
[AC_MSG_ERROR([Couldn't find static libfb libraries])])
)
```
I've not check it, but if the info in the first link is correct I guess that
installing the libs in a "standard" path will fix this Autoconf problem.
Anyway. What I did was very simple:
``` $ diff -Naur configure.ac.old configure.ac
--- configure.ac.old 2013-10-16 01:55:34.000000000 +0200
