Empty diff when using kompare

[lefou]

I'm using KDE 3.5.2 and kdesvn 0.8.2 on Gentoo Linux:

Any attemt, to view diff's with kompare result in an empty kompare window, means, kompare starts, pops up but displays nothing. (Using kompare from commandline or from other software e.g. Krusader works as expected.) Using the text diff option in kdesvn displays the diff correctly.

What more informations are needed to resolv this issue?

mainly there are no diffs or only diffs kompare may not display (property changes). I will find a way to signal it.

No, this is not the case. If I call e.g. 'svn diff bibliographie.bib' I can see the differences. Calling kompare from commandline to diff the changes against the original, stored in the .svn directory, e.g. 'kompare .svn/text-base/bibliographie.bib.svn-base bibliographie.bib', I can see the diffs too. So, the problem is not on kompares side.

So to provide more information or the be able to debug, is there some way to display the command, with which kompare is called by kdesvn. Maybe my system is somewhat missconfigured or kdesvn make some assumptions, that are not fulfilled for me.

According to the homepage of kdesvn this is a known problem and will get fixed in 0.11.x version.

As a work around: Select "Other" and set external display to "kompare %f" meanwhile.

ok, displaying differences works that way, but I cannot resolve diffs using kompare (apply differences and 'save all' in kompare menu): "could not upload temporary file to destination location (...)"

is there any way to use kompare as conflict resolving tool?
