HI

Can any one help on how to install

The Xdiff on linux 4.1 machine.

xdiff which is used to compare the files etc..

Please i need it as soon as possible.

Thanks
Rehan

There is no such thing as Linux 4.1. The 4.1 must refer to the version of a distribution which you use. This might be something like Redhat, Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian, SuSE, Mandriva... Please tell us what distribution you use.

you could also try tkdiff, another gui diff program. It is nicer than xdiff, I think.

following what matthewg42 said, all linux distributions have different package management systems for ease of installation of new software. For example, I use debian. Getting, e.g. both xdiff and tkdiff for me is as simple as typing (as root)
What this does is get binaries suitable for my system. But you can always also get the source code for any program, and compile it if necessary for your system.

sourceforge archives the sources for many open source projects. for example, tkdiff is at

http://sourceforge.net/projects/tkdiff/

Hi

Linux 4.1 is the distribution which i use means RHEL 4.1 operating system with kde 3.3.

I have installed tkdiff its working fine.

PLease can you give me xdiff installation steps...

Waiting for your reply

I don't use RHEL, and never have, but I presume it uses the rpm package manager method. Here is a guide:

Hopefully, you will be able to use the rpm method to install xdiff from binaries.

Otherwise, go to the homepage for xdiff and follow instructions to install from source (although it looks a bit more complicated than usual)
