Hi;

        Just getting started with openssl and discovered that compiling fails
on bn_div_words which after some further reading, seems to be related to
probs with crypto/bn/asm/alpha.s.

        Looking in the archives, I discovered a patch/diff posted by Niels
Poppe that I can apply to alpha.s that will (hopefully) fix my compiling
probs.

        My problem is that I am not very accustomed to doing diffs, and I have
been struggling for a few hours trying to apply the patch. I think it
has something to do with the diff header;

        My openssl install is in /usr/local/openssl-0.9.2b/ .

        Can someone suggest what mods to the above diff need to be done, and
then suggest a proper command line and location (in the filesystem) to
execute the patch from?

        My apologies is this is a 'pain in the butt' newbie question. I am
reasonably installing from source code (optimizing and so forth) but
have had minimal experience with diffs (and have little docs about
them)..

        Your help is greatly appreciated.

        Thanks

        Chris
