Jude: I happen to do my compiling in /usr/local/src, but you can do this in /tmp or whereever. I put the patch in /usr/local/src/yasr-0.6.0/yasr-0.6.0 and typed: patch <yasrpatch (the name i had given the patch file. It worked with no problem. Just be sure you cut it off at the right place when you edited it out of the email.
