If you are trying to do a source patch, try "cd" to the base directory containing the files to patch and run

patch -p0 < patch_file

You may open the patch file in the text editor to find out the files that will be involved in the patch and verify that they exist. For versions of patch that has the --dry-run option, I will recommend running it to find out the probable outcome without physically patching the files, and leave out that option if things seem to go fine. Certain patch files require a different patch level though (the number after the -p option). Some sites distributing patch files describe the patch command you need to execute, but others do not.
