I think we need more information: ~ (1) What does the patch file look like? ~ (2) Be sure you created the patch file with 'diff -urNp' or simular. ~ (3) In the %prep seciton you have the ':patchxx -p1' command, where xx is the number you assigned to the patch. ~ (4) After the Sources you have a Patchxx: <patch-file-name>, again where xx is the uniuqe patch number and <patch-file-name> is the patch file name located in the SOURCES directory.
Can you send a small snippet of the diff file (patch file), the relavent change you made to the .spec file? This information would be very valuable in helping.
