[newbie] Installing Mob program patch

I was reading the mob program docs and..Man this looks killer! On
installing them I do have a big problem patching my already modified mud
with the mobprog-3.0bpl11.patch patch.
After backing up I copyed it to my src and typed: patch <
mobprog-3.0bpl11.patch

My output is:
Hmm...  Looks like a new-style context diff to me...
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------
|diff -acN ../oldsrc/Makefile ./Makefile
|*** ../oldsrc/Makefile Fri May 24 20:23:02 1996
|--- ./Makefile Fri May 24 20:01:32 1996
--------------------------
Patching file Makefile using Plan A...
Hunk #1 failed at 20.
patch: **** replacement text or line numbers mangled in hunk at line 24
amanda:~/newmud/test/src$

Could someone help me out with this. I am a bit unfamiliar with the
patch command.
