Subject: Need help appying a patch to john 1.7.2

I definitely need some help here. I think I am doing this right but my 
results always seem to fail.

I am trying to apply a patch to john 1.7.2 so that I can decrypt one 
cashed  password from a laptop I have in which I have simply forgotten 
the domain password I used. I used cachedump to retrieve it and would 
now like to use John to recover the password. This patch is supposed to 
add what I need to John to do that.

I wget this file (john-1.7.2-mscash-alainesp-4.1.diff.gz) into the src 
directory in John 1.7.2, cd to src and run the following command and get 
the following output. It asks for the file to patch and I give  
"john.conf" . I have tried several different patches with different 
versions and get the same or more complex failures.

I have to be doing something simple wrong....

Any help would be appreciated.

Gavin
