  Why not use Numerical Recipes?   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Numerical recipes resorts to some floating point calculations in one of the sorting routines that I found a simple integer alternative for (at least their floating point stuff wasn't inside a loop).
The bottom line is that the Numerical Recipes code for FFTs is not as accurate as the best codes available, and four1 and realft (or drealft) may not be suitable for use as the basis for a fast bignum arithmetic package, which is, by coincidence, an example given in Section 20.6 of NR.
The Numerical Recipes C code uses a generator for an FFT of $N$ points that has error of size $\sqrt{N}$ units in the last place at the end of the array, i.e., it loses $\log_2\sqrt{N}$ bits in the calculation of the trigonometric function, and hence in the FFT.

The new and greatly expanded second edition of the highly popular Numerical Recipes in C features over 100 new routines and upgraded versions of the original routines.
The successful application of these techniques gives rise to a kind of cognitive unification: Ideas that are disparate and apparently unrelated seem to come together when the appropriate design patterns and abstractions are used.

 Boycott Numerical Recipes
Numerical Recipes in C/Fortran/Pascal/C++/ALGOL-68/whatever is a very useful book for scientists who have to crunch numbers, but can't spend a vast amount of time sorting through the applied math literature.
If you are, say, an astronomer reading this and thinking, "Hey, I never need to write programs or read Numerical Recipes," it probably means you've hired a postdoc or a grad student to do it for you.
There is no exception for noncommercial or scientific use, which is Grinchy and irritating, especially given that two of the authors acknowledge funding from the NSF for work on numerical methods.

 Numerical Recipes in C : The Art of Scientific Computing - PowerBookSearch!
Arguing that practical methods of numerical computation can be simultaneously clever, efficient, and clear, the authors of this text present the methods for using the C++ computer programming language to construct programs for carrying out the standard computations of numerical analysis (with the exception of partial differential equations).
Each recipe is described using a mixture of general discussion, analytical mathematics, discussion of algorithmics, and actual implementation of the ideas in the form of working computer routines.
Including and updating the full mathematical and explanatory contents of Numerical Recipes in C, this new version incorporates completely new C++ versions of the more than 300 Numerical Recipes routines that are widely recognized in scientific computing.

As with Numerical Recipes in C, the FORTRAN edition has been greatly revised to make this edition the most up to date handbook for those working with FORTRAN.
However, to this title's detriment, the authors consider their book to be a proprietary library of source code more valuable than the explanatory text discussing it (one can in fact download the text on-line though it's hardly worth the hassle).

What are Numerical Recipes in C? Numerical Recipes in C is a collection (or a library) of C functions written by Press
If we can break up the mathematical problem into a set of standard mathematical problems whose numerical solution can be obtained through the use of functions available in libraries, we can save the substantial time and effort which go into the coding and debugging.
