Re: [TCLUG:268] applying a patch

[Ben Kochie <ben@intexp.com>]

no problem.. one thing ot do is check the dir that the patch is looking

head patchfie

the first line should display what dir the patch is looking for..
then i noticed that you need to run the command like this

patch -p0 < patchfile
