Sample may work on a specific version of C library and not on the latest (or older) brew installed version.

As long as the library remains compatible the sample should continue to work. It seemed wrong to install a non-specific version using homebrew (or apt or yum) and then expect that specific version had been installed.

I agree with the suggestion that the readme should document which version of the library was used.
