<P>RCS needs <CODE>diff(1)</CODE> and <CODE>diff3(3)</CODE> to generate the
context diff files between revisions. The diff utilities suite needs
to be installed on your system, and when you install RCS, the software
will check for its presence.
<P>Precompiled diffutils binaries are available at:
<PRE>
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/utils/text/diffutils-2.6.bin.ELF.tar.gz
</PRE>
and its mirror sites. If you need to compile <CODE>diff(1)</CODE>, et
al., from source, it is located at:
<PRE>
ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/diffutils-2.7.tar.gz
</PRE>
and its mirror sites.
<P>You will also need to have the ELF libraries installed on your system
if you want to install pre-built binaries. See the ELF-HOWTO for
further details.
