I'm not sure exactly what you mean could explain a little more please on
getting it to compile statically.

Do you mean that I should compile sword statically linked also? And I
thought the reason for compiling a program statically is so that it will
run on any system. In this case should not the sword libs be compiled in
or something? If I rename libsword.so to libsword.so.old It makes it so
that Bibletime config does not see it? Is this correct?
