the patch file problems

[Rubén Meré]

Hello!!! 

I have a problem, i have downloaded the patch files from the mysql.com web site. When i
want patch the file i used (under red hat 9.0):

> patch p1 < mysql__-gcc-3.0.patch 

mysql__-gcc-3.2.2.patch     mysql__-gcc-3.2.patch
mysql__-gcc-3.2.2.patch.gz  mysql__-gcc-3.2.patch.gz
[root@localhost mysql++]# patch -p1 < mysql__-gcc-3.2.2.patch
can't find file to patch at input line 4
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------
|diff -ur mysql++-1.7.9/sqlplusint/connection.cc mysql++-1.7.9.patched/sqlplusin
t/connection.cc
|--- mysql++-1.7.9/sqlplusint/connection.cc     2003-04-16 12:22:56.000000000 -0

--------------------------
File to patch:

but this patch ask me for a file to patch, what is this file???

I also installed the rpm for red hat 9, and i try to compile the a simple example from the
web page, but not compile. the errors are too much to write here. 

i compile with: gcc -I/usr/include/sqlplus/ prueba.cpp

can anybody help me?
