    andrea@chisone:~/Desktop/materiale_tesi> gcc -o new_static matrix.c -static
    -L/usr/local/lib/ -lcr_run -u cr_run_link_me
    /usr/local/lib//libcr_run.a(libcr_run_la-cr_run.o): In function `cri_init':
    /home/andrea/Desktop/blcr-0.7.3/builddir/libcr/../../libcr/cr_libinit.c:148:
    undefined reference to `dlopen'
