Dynamically linked binaries expect to use shared libraries on your
system. Staticly linked binaries don't - the code is all linked in.

Dynamically linked binaries are smaller, but may require you to
install the libraries it's looking for.  Staticly linked binaries are
complete, and never require installing anything else. However, if they
got the wrong version of a library, you can't fix it.
