You can download the source from Here and compile it manually. It should be an archive.

I have tried it before.

#tar xvfx tkdiff-4.1.4-unix.tar.gz
tkdiff-4.1.4-unix/
tkdiff-4.1.4-unix/Changelog
tkdiff-4.1.4-unix/COPYING
tkdiff-4.1.4-unix/tkdiff

what to do after this? sorry i am new. How to compile manually?

There should be a INSTALL file, read it for installation instructions.
But the basic steps are generally:
#./configure
#make
#make install

There is no compilation. It's just one tcl/tk script.

The script 'tkdiff' can be clicked, to check,
that your wish command works OK.

Installation : 1) cd tkdiff-4.1.4-unix/ , 2) su ,
3) cp tkdiff /usr/local/bin/

Using : tkdiff file1 file2

.....

In that case ignore my last post. ;)

Thank you very much.
Just need to copy to /usr/local/bin/

I could use it already. :)
