speakup errors when compiling linux 2.4.19

[Gregory Nowak]

I unpacked the source again.
Then, the following happens.

Script started on Sat Aug  3 17:29:10 2002
root at linserver:~# cd /usr/src/linux/include
root at linserver:/usr/src/linux/include# patch -p0 </storage/stuff/kernel/miscdevice.patch 
can't find file to patch at input line 3
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------
|--- miscdevice.h.orig	Sat Aug  3 21:31:25 2002
|+++ miscdevice.h	Sat Aug  3 21:39:25 2002
--------------------------
File to patch: 
root at linserver:/usr/src/linux/include# exit

Script done on Sat Aug  3 17:30:01 2002

I've done this both before patching speakup, and after patching speakup into the source, using a fresh tree both times.

Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Greg
