unable to install, any suggestion plz.

These errors that you are getting are a result of missing/corrupt files in your ram. Also when compiling try decompressing it to an actual data storage device. not the /root/Desktop use one of the /mnt/sdX's if you store the code while working on it. We also need to see your compile flags/ ./configure line. You need to set a prefix so it will install to a specified area where you have read and write access, then make that into a package. Also I run into errors like this if my thumbdrive(where porteus is installed) gets unplugged then plugged right back in. If you still continue to recieve these errors do a memcheck. If that passes. Check the md5 on your iso that you used for you porteus install. If that passes downgrade kdiff3 to a 0.9.8 or something a little lower and see if you get the same error.

If it is just a simple error from unplugging and plugging back in just reboot your computer and dont unplug the thumbdrive.

singhkirtikumar, you need to use cmake-2.8.4-i486-1.txz with dependencies of cmake and SlackBuild script for it.

Look at this SlackBuild script.

Download the source kdiff3-0.9.95.tar.gz and all files from Individual Files section.
Then set chmod +x
for these files and run kdiff3.SlackBuild in console.
Convert a new tgz package to xzm format.

Blaze: I installed cmake but kdiff3-0.9.95.tar.gz not supporting Kde3 throwing error and for other supporting version of kdiff3 unable to find slackbuild.

but kdiff3-0.9.95.tar.gz not supporting Kde3

hm..., try this package kdiff3-0.9.95-i486-3sl.txz
and you need to have these dependencies in your Porteus: Porteus has some the established dependencies.
You can find this list of established dependencies in /var/log/packages/
I think that you are need in qt-4.7.0_7abde40-i486-3.txz for run kdiff3.

My advice is to use the latest Porteus version. If i remember correctly there were issues with headers in Beta1 not being the same version as that under which glibc was compiled. I would use the latest release with crippled kernel sources module.

I'm right - kdiff3 work for me fine.

Blaze: Thanks, your advice worked
