I think -static only tells gcc to "prefer" .a files (i.e. static libraries)
over .so files (dynamic libs). So the question is whether you have
libigraph.a lying around somewhere on your library path.

For the record, the following works for me:

test_igraph_static.c:

#include <igraph/igraph.h>

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
        igraph_t graph;
        igraph_famous(&graph, "zachary");
        igraph_destroy(&graph);
}

Command to compile:

gcc -static -o test_igraph_static test_igraph_static.c -I/home/tamas/include
-L/home/tamas/lib -ligraph -lm

(I have the igraph include files in /home/tamas/include/igrpah and the libs
in /home/tamas/lib, so that's why I need the -I and -L switches).
