Re: [Newbie]Installing XFree86 4.1.0 using the patch files

[Dexter Filmore]

If a program is patched beyond any hope fastest and easiest is to completely delete and reinstall it. Works fine with Windows, why shouldn't it with Linux? :D DF Martin schrieb: Hello I am referring to the patches found athttp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/4.1.0/patches I downloaded all of the files needed and tried to proceed asspecified in the install instructions. After finding the xcdirectory and running the following commands:      gzip -d < 4.0.3-4.1.0.diff1.gz | patch -p0 -E      gzip -d < 4.0.3-4.1.0.diff2.gz | patch -p0 -E      gzip -d < 4.0.3-4.1.0.diff3.gz | patch -p0 -E      gzip -d < 4.0.3-4.1.0.diff4.gz | patch -p0 -E I got error messages when some files needed to be patched.The errors said that the needed files didn't exist for patching.Now I have Redhat 7.1 and XFree 86 4.3 so am I doingsomething wrong? I have read through all of your docs andinstall files and still no luck. Please HelpMartin -- -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 GCM d-(--)@ s-:+ a-- C++ UL>+++ P>++ L+>++ E- W++ N- o?
