Hi<br>
<br>
As far as I know, static libraries are linked during compilation,
thus are part of your installation, while shared libraries are
linked during execution. The latter lead to, somehow, more "robust"
binaries, as once they are compiled they have (almost) no
dependences, while the latter save memory (as indicated by the
configure script), since you use libraries you already have in your
system and you don't have to reinstall them again inside your
program.<br>
<br>
To enable/disable the use of shared libraries use --enable-shared
(which is the default from gromacs 4.5.x) or --disable-shared along
with the configure script.<br>
