[mpls-linux-general] installing problems

[christopher p. <chr...@es...>]

hello,

today i tried to install the mpls patch (version 1.0) on a linux-kernel
(version 2.4.8) and it dind't work.

these following lines were the last seen on my screen:
=========================================
patching file drivers/net/ppp_generic.c
patch: **** Can't create file /tmp/poAKX9sT : File exists
=========================================
off course, this file doesn't exists at all in the /tmp dir, which is empty
at this moment. write permissions are ok also

does anyone know how this can occur and what i could do to fix it?

thanx in advance,
regards,
christopher

P.S.: i'm not a C programmer, so please try to explain it a little
understandable for me.
