Since you are using a pre-Intel version of the compiler, just run "export CL_CONTEXT_COMPILER_MODE_ALTERA=3" from command line. Note that you must configure the FPGA manually using "aocl program" first.

When you are done, you should run "unset CL_CONTEXT_COMPILER_MODE_ALTERA" from command line if you want to go back to the default method of run-time reconfiguration by the host code.
