PATCH COMMAND:  patch  -p0 < /usr/portage/net-libs/libpcap/files/libpcap-0.8.1-fPIC.patch

====================================
can't find file to patch at input line 3

The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------
|--- Makefile.in        2004-01-03 12:51:50.914715352 +0000
|+++ Makefile.in        2004-01-03 13:04:17.524952464 +0000
--------------------------
No file to patch.  Skipping patch.
1 out of 1 hunk ignored
====================================
etc ...
