Setting path explicitly does not help either. Some other colleagues are having the same problem. So it might be related to our OS (SLES 12 SP4)

Thanks for your help so far. As you said - the issue seems to be on our end. I am currently digging through git-mergetool--lib.sh to find out why it thinks that p4merge is not a valid tool.

Thanks again for your help Lars
