That libfurgle.la file is missing while libfurgel.so exists is a sign that you 
have installed furgle.rpm but have not installed furgle-devel.rpm. Many SuSE 
packages come in pairs like this. Examples are glibc and glibc-devel, libmng 
and libmng-devel, libogg and libogg-devel, libpng and libpng-devel, ncurses 
and ncurses-devel.

In this case popt and popt-devel. You will find that popt-devel includes 
libpopt.la. See
http://www.suse.com/us/private/products/suse_linux/prof/packages_amd64/popt-devel.html

See, eg.
http://ftp.uni-kl.de/pub/linux/suse/x86_64/update/9.1/rpm/x86_64/
for the current patched popt and popt-devel rpms.
