You need to install the "-devel" version to get the it as a 
static library. On OpenSuse it's named gperftools-devel.

Maybe on ubuntu it's this one:

"libgoogle-perftools-dev"

http://packages.ubuntu.com/fr/trusty/amd64/libgoogle-perftools-dev/filelist, because it contains the "*.a" static library you wanna link in.
