Shahzad,

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.
