Did you download the vim-6.0 source into /usr/share/vim - I'd
guess you don't have the source in that directory and are possibly
looking a the pre-installed binary.  Make sure to follow all the
directions noted in the README file on cvsweb and pay extra attention
to where you put all those files (grab the source from www.vim.org).
Also note the version of the 'patch' command.

If you have further problems, mail me privately.
