[rt-users] Newbie: applying hv.c patch to redhat 9 rpms

[michael-i at myrealbox.com]

I just joined the list today, beacuse I'm trying to solve this problem, 
based on responses that applying the hv.c patch works.  I don't have
a lot of experience with patch files, so I going to assume I am doing
something wrong. 

Trying to rpmbuild -ba perl.spec throws:
Patch #32002 (perl-5.8.0-storable.patch):
+ patch -p1 -s
2 out of 2 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file hv.c.rej
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.23516 (%prep)

Here's what I did:

I installed all the redhat perl SRPMS.  

Make a file in /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/perl-5.8.0-storable.patch (see end of msg for
my patchfile.  i adjusted the paths by looking at the pagerfix.patch)

Changed SPECS/perl.spec to include
Patch32002: perl-5.8.0-storable.patch
%patch32002 -p1

then ran rpmbuild -ba perl.spec.
