No known merge resolution program available.

I tried building kdiff3-0.9.95. That wasn't much fun. (If any member of the Git
community wants to explore that with me, I'll provide details.)
Searching for a path of least resistance, I used the above merge tool candidates
list in comparison with the list of tool packages available from sunfreeware.com
and selected tkdiff. Standalone, tkdiff launches successfully. But git mergetool
fails to launch it:

Merging the files: about.html
Normal merge conflict for 'about.html':
{local}: modified
{remote}: modified
Hit return to start merge resolution tool (tkdiff):
Neither ~/.dt/sessions/current/dt.resources nor
~/.dt/sessions/home/dt.resources was readable
Falling back to plain X

It seems to me inappropriate for Git to be looking for ~/.dt/ (which doesn't
exist), because I'm running the Java Desktop System, not CDE.
Has anyone had success with mergetool on Solaris? Or can anyone help with
mergetool/tkdiff (that looks solvable)?
