I've just compiled MySQL with gcc-3.0.2 and got the mysql++ package and the patch. However, I've been asking everywhere how to use the patch but it doesn't seem to work. I read patch's man page and --help output. Up until now, I have tried ( after the un-tar and un-gzip of the mysql++ package) these commands:

zcat mysql++-gcc3.0.patch.gz | patch -p0 zcat mysql++-gcc3.0.patch.gz | patch -p1

from both in and out of the mysql++ directory where I uncompressed the package. I also tried to rename that directory to mysql++-patched and still didn't work. I would really appreciate some help on this.

PS: I'm using Slackware 8.0 if that counts for anything.

Thank you.
