I got this error when I first started trying to patch. If it was the binary patch he wouldn't get the error about the -p option. He probably needs to use patch -p1 < patchname. That almost always works form inside the src directory. I even had one that had to use -p0 which I would have thought was the same as no -p option at all. And a few patches I have to use -p2.
