 In order to build this program you have to put the path to the Julia header into the include path and link against ``libjulia``. For instance, when Julia is installed to ``$JULIA_DIR``, one can compile the above test program ``test.c`` with ``gcc`` using::
 
-    gcc -o test -I$JULIA_DIR/include/julia -L$JULIA_DIR/usr/lib -ljulia test.c
+    gcc -o test -fPIC -I$JULIA_DIR/include/julia -L$JULIA_DIR/usr/lib test.c -ljulia
 
 Alternatively, look at the ``embedding.c`` program in the Julia source tree in the ``examples/`` folder. The file ``ui/repl.c`` program is another simple example of how to set ``jl_options`` options while linking against ``libjulia``.
