- When building and testing RCS for myself, I noticed that diff3 as
- compiled for the SLS 0.98pl5 release looks for the diff command under
- /bin/diff; however, diff can be found as /usr/bin/diff in that release.
-
- Doing a
-
- mv /usr/bin/diff* /bin
-
- gets rid of the problem.
-
- BTW, DO NOT do a /usr/lib/makewhatis in that SLS release. Since just
- about every manpage in that release comes precompiled, you'll smash your
- whatis database that way, and man -k will no longer work.
