I haven't tried with Suricata yet myself, but I used to build another 
app statically, and I found I had to remove the shared libraries so they 
wouldn't be found at all - a container helped here. Or copy the .a's 
into a directory and make sure that dir is on the library path before 
any standard location. But I find it far from trivial on modern Linux.
