I was trying to install on macOS 11.6 (Big Sur) and encountered the same problem (in addition to the problem reported in another post). This particular message seems to be due to assertion error in the test-prep.pl. I commented out line 48 (the assertion check line) to detour the check and the testcase somehow passed.

#ok(compare($i1, $i2) == 0, "Files equal: $f == $o");
