>>> "Links for farpd"
[farpd_0.2.orig.tar.gz], [farpd_0.2-10.diff.gz]

patch -p1 < farpd_0.2-10.diff

The patch in your link is rejected. The above patch works.


By the way, libdumpnet=libdnet, libevent
are available in the Package Manager (Yast2) or with:
# zypper in libdnet-devel libevent-devel
..

I tried all your suggestion but still can not work same error occured like before..,

This is the out put when i try to run the patch

linux-4tf4:~/farpd-0.2 # patch -p1 < farpd_0.2-10.diff.gz
patch unexpectedly ends in middle of line
patch: **** Only garbage was found in the patch input.


Sorry still newbie,,,,

Please have a look at post # 2 :
patch -p1 < farpd_0.2-10.diff :
This command indicates an uncompressed file !
1) you can do : gunzip farpd_0.2-10.diff.gz
which uncompresses the file, and the patch command will work.

2) Or do : zcat farpd_0.2-10.diff.gz | patch -p1

Suggest : read 'man patch' and 'man zcat'.
