Visual Diff reports are empty #39
Description
hi,
I am using 1.8 version and I am trying to compare jar files with the following options
-check-byte-code -full-method-diffs
The main report shows the % change in the changed Java Classes. However, if I click on the link "diff" , it redirects me to a blank page.
The HTML files are created for each of the Changed classes but they are empty.
Can you please advise what could be the reason?
BTW, I get a following warning when I run the tool
WARNING: perl-File-LibMagic is not installed
I think, this should not be the reason for the empty reports.
Please help.

I have figured out the reason by adding Debugs in rfcdiff shell script.
Reason: The awk version is I was using is not compatible with rfcdiff. I had to install GNU Awk to make the class level diff reports working.

Although you closed this, I'm wondering if it's worth doing some version checking so a helpful error message would be generated instead of unexpected behavior.

Installing gawk is not solving the issue for me :(
