  Hi, As per the message 'configure: error: Please reinstall the libxdiff distribution', have you installed libxdiff? That doesn't come from CentOS repositories, so you'll likely need to compile this piece of software manually.

  Thanks for the help and you are exactly right. It turns out I'd actually fixed this on another server and made a note of it. For anyone that might have the same issue, this is how to install libxdiff:
  cd /usr/src wget
