Hello,

Just wondering if anybody knows why solaris patch refuses to process the bdb 4.7 patch files, where the patch command on linux works perfectly.

Ie: on solaris :

patch -p0 <patch.4.7.25.1 Looks like a context diff to me... Hunk #1 failed at line 187. Hunk #3 failed at line 296. 2 out of 4 hunks failed: saving rejects to sequence/sequence.c.rej done

Works fine on a linux machine ?

We use --ignore-whitespace on FreeBSD ports (databases/db47) which solved this problem. Another solution would be to convert the patch to an Unix file :)
