To link and run the validate programs for the IMSL C Numerical Library,
enter the following commands:

      $CC $CFLAGS -o cmath cmath.c $LINK_CNL
      $CC $CFLAGS -o cstat cstat.c $LINK_CNL
      ./cmath
      ./cstat

The expected output from the executable program cmath is as follows:

  Library version:  IMSL C/Math/Library Version 5.0
  Customer number:  999999         
 

        Solution, x of Ax = b
         1         2         3
        -2        -2         3

The expected output from the executable program cstat is as follows:

  Library version:  IMSL C/Stat/Library Version 5.0
  Customer number:  999999         
 
        Least-Squares Polynomial Coefficients
                  0          503.3
                  1           78.9
                  2           -4.0

If you have installed both the static and shared versions of the libraries,
you must repeat the above process for the static library.  You can accomplish
this by replacing "$LINK_CNL" in the compile/link command with 
"$LINK_CNL_STATIC"
