Usually re-running the auto tools (in doubt with --force) and specifying
the --enable-shared option should do the trick. Check the configure output
which of the checks are wrong (usually there are three checks: ld can make
shared libs, libtool can make shared libs, shared libs have been enabled).
config.log is also a good source of information. If a test fails you can
see there why. You'll also get configure line number references, so you can
look things up in the configure script.
