I'm not clear on which file I > _need_ to patch? Or where it would be. I associate this message with an earlier line identifying the file being sought. Usually this means I am not in a directory at the same relative path [to the source root] from which the patch was made. Back up one directory above your source root and try a few values of '-pN': -p1 .. -p3 stopping as you have if the sources are not found -- very likely you will hit the right offset and one or all of the patches will be applied successfully. You have to look at any sections which fail to determine why, and whether they are important. (You will get a report of this and they will have been saved with a 'rej' suffix.) -- John Mills john.m.mills@alum.mit.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
