Guys, One thing I'm terrible at is figuring out why a patch failed to do its thing. Here I was trying to build gnomenu and it has a patch to accommodate the ../lib64 placement of stuff on x86_64 boxes. The patch fails and creates a Makefile.rej, which looks like nothing but a patch file to me. Is there any trick to using the .rej file? How? The patch applies correctly to everything but the simple Makefile and it has got me stalled. If anyone can help, please let me know. Then Makefile, Makefile.rej and gnomenu_64.patch are here: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/bugs/openSUSE/110/Makefile http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/bugs/openSUSE/110/Makefile.rej http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/bugs/openSUSE/110/gnomenu_64.patches The makefiles ~2k and the patchfile ~10k (of which only 2 hunks that apply to the Makefile fail) I'm interested in figuring out how to solve this riddle. -- David C.
