[libextractor] Problem compiling libextractor with shared '-lgobject-2.0'

[Ravi Desai]

Hello,
   I have tried to compile libextractor, but I receive the error message
--------------

----------------

When I sent this error message to my distribution's mailing list, I was
told that libextractor needs a static -lgobject-2.0 and glib2 does not
provide a static version. This was in April. I have tried to compile it
now, but I still have the same problem.

How do I make it possible to install libextractor on my computer? I'm
currently using glib2-2.6.5

Thank you,
ravster.
