Linux CVS - SHELLOPTS Error

Question

Hi. I have a project using CVS source control and it all works fine except when I try to do a diff between files.
The error I'm getting is:
Unable to perform CVS file difference check.
sh: SHELLOPTS: readonly variableI'm running JDeveloper and CVS under Linux. I can connect to the CVS repository and check-out files using JDeveloper, however I cannot run diff with JDeveloper. I can however run diff and all other CVS commands from the command prompt. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Johnny

Hi Rob,
When I right-click on my local file and then select "Source Control -> Compare with Previous Version", nothing shows up in the log window. Instead I get a message box saying "Unable to perform CVS file difference check...sh: SHELLOPTS: readonly variable". The same happens if I select "Source Control -> Compare..."...
However if I perform a "Source Control -> Update..." on the same file I get the following:

I hope this helps explain my problem better.
I am using Mandrake Linux 9.1 with KDE 3.1 and the (almost) latest JDeveloper 9.0.3.1 (Build 1107) with J2SDK 1.4.2
Thanks for the prompt response.
