Troubles with shared libraries

I have some problems with shared libraries. This is the partial result of a ./configure

checking if libtool supports shared libraries... no
checking whether to build shared libraries... no
checking whether to build static libraries... yes
checking for ld used by g++... /usr/bin/ld
checking if the linker (/usr/bin/ld) is GNU ld... yes
checking whether the g++ linker (/usr/bin/ld) supports shared libraries... no
checking for g++ option to produce PIC... -fPIC -DPIC
checking if g++ PIC flag -fPIC -DPIC works... yes
checking if g++ static flag -static works... yes
checking if g++ supports -c -o file.o... yes
checking if g++ supports -c -o file.o... (cached) yes
checking whether the g++ linker (/usr/bin/ld) supports shared libraries... no
checking dynamic linker characteristics... no

Why libtool and the g++ linker don't support shared libraries?
Searching in the forum i saw other people having a positive answer to the checks. Did i make something wrong?

Thanks.

Nobody has ever had the same problem? It might be normal or there's something wrong on my system?

Re: Troubles with shared libraries

"This is the partial result of a ./configure" - of *what* app? Look at the configure script that you're running.
