Installation fails on Centos7 and macOS

[tassoman]

I was following installation instructions on a Centos7 machine, while at make test the process gave back an error, then runinng the binary checklink gave me also errors.

Perl version is v5.16.3

Any help is appreciated. Looks like it was missing some dependencies?
