Hello Ruben!!!
I think you need to do a couple of things here.
First, the patch should be one directory BELOW your mysql++ directory
Second, Do NOT rename your mysql++ directory after un-tarring the source
or the patch file will not find it.
third, cd into the mysql++-1.7.9 directory and do exactly this:
[root@surveys mysql++-1.7.9]# patch -p 1 < ../mysql++-gcc-3.0.patch
Hope this helps.
