Well it could be a couple things. If jumping the car made no difference, I would check the battery cables to make sure they are clean and tight. Also, make sure the ground to the engine and body are clean and tight. Next, did the clicking come from the starter (dead battery click). If not, then I would check the starter relay. If no luck there, disconnect the battery. Next, remove the starter, take it to the parts store and have them bench test it.

Let me know what you find.
