RE: error installing rcs in AIX

[Thiruvengadam, Sathish]

Hi Aaron,
Yes, I have installed it but still getting the same issue.
After extracting the tar file and running the configure script, I am getting 
this error. I am confident that the error comes while trying to locate *diff* 
file on /usr/*lib*/ directory within the script. There are no *diff* files on 
/usr/lib directory. Any ideas ??

Regards
Sathish

Did you try installing GNU diffutils as I had suggested to ANtonio?

I didn't hear back from Antonio in February, so I'm not sure if my suggestion 
solved the problem or not.  Maybe you can find out.
