The most likely cause is you not running "patch" from the right
directory and/or not passing the right "-p..." option. Your actions as
described in your first posting to the list were obviously wrong, and
you've never since provided the specific shell commands (all of them,
starting with extracting the tarball) that you try to use now. From the
command line that you did post, it is not clear what directory you're
running "patch" from.

No, that's completely irrelevant.
