Hi Chris,

Short version: run "sudo xcode-select -switch /Developer" in a
Terminal.  That should fix it. (fingers crossed)

Long version:

Versions uses the "opendiff" command-line tool – also part of a
default Developer tools installation – to launch FileMerge.

Normally when you install the developer tools, a shell script, also
aptly named "opendiff" is installed at "/usr/bin/opendiff".  The sole
purpose of that shell script is to somehow figure out where the real
opendiff command-line tool is located (normally at /Developer/usr/bin/
opendiff).  The opendiff shell script uses yet another command-line
utility that's included with Xcode, "xcode-select" (also used to
switch between different Xcode installations on one Mac) to do this.
This opendiff script is the thing Versions tries to execute when you
use FileMerge, if it does not exist, Versions looks in the most likely
spot for the real opendiff command.

I bet that if you open up a Terminal window on your Mac and run "xcode-
select -print-path", it will print out "/Developer3.0".

If that's indeed what you get, run "sudo xcode-select -switch /
Developer" and everything should be fine, including the functionality
of any other parts of the Developer tools or third-party apps that
depend on this xcode-path to be set correctly.

If I'm wrong, let me know, and we'll keep on looking. :)

Cheers,
- Dirk
