I am trying to install numerical recipes c++ on a RedHat system. I have made two minor modifications: (1) I changed 'CC' to 'g++' in the makefile and (2) I made a soft link in /usr/local/bin/ to /usr/bin/perl.

It seems that the perl script fails during the comparison of the first result file. Here is the entire log file:

Can anyone suggest a fix?

Thank you.
