Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.6.2) 
OS:                Linux

Looking up help by pressing F1 or go to menu Help - kdiff3 Handbook brings up page "Documentation not Found" in KDE Help Center, containing instructions "How to solve this issue";

as suggested by this page, looked for installed packages named "*kdepim*" which resulted in kdepim4, kdepim4-runtime, kdepim4-wizards, kdepimlibs4, libkdepim4, libkdepimlibs4

Problem behavior the same with standard Opensuse version (see Additional Information)

Actual Results:  
Brings up page "Documentation not Found" in KDE Help Center, containing instructions "How to solve this issue"

Comment 1 Joachim Eibl 2011-05-05 21:28:20 UTC 
The problem was somehow caused by KDE4.6 (4.5?) which required a small patch in the KDiff3-docs to build. The opensuse KDiff3-packages are incomplete because of this.
I'll provide a updated version soon, so you will be able to fix this by rebuilding yourself.

I read on the page "Documentation not Found":
<quote>
Start by searching the KDE Documentation site for the requested documentation.
</quote>
Followed the that advice, went to docs.kde.org, entered "kdiff3" in the field labbeled Application Name at the top left, clicked the Open button and a second later "The KDiff3 Handbook" was displayed.
Didn't this work for you?
Next step:
<quote>
If you find the documentation on that site, your distribution might ship a separate package for documentation (e.g. called kdepim-doc for all applications from the kdepim module, like KMail, Kontact, etc.). 
</quote>
This reads "e.g called kdepim-doc for ... kdepim applications"
So opened (suitable for my system) packages.ubuntu.com, entered "kdiff3" into the search box and got three packages kdiff3, kdiff3-doc, kdiff3-qt.

Problem solvable via updating the system via package manager of the distribution.
