[gentoo-user] Help applying a qt patch

[Grant]

I've set the ebuild up in an overlay and added:

epatch ${FILESDIR}/qt-4.3.1-r1_gcc3.4_compile_fix.diff

to the ebuild alongside other patches, but the patch always fails with this:

^[[31;01mACCESS DENIED^[[0m  rename:
/usr/portage/x11-libs/qt/qt-4.3.1-r1.ebuild
patch: **** Can't rename file
/var/tmp/portage/x11-libs/qt-4.3.1-r1/temp/poIOMqJi to
/usr/portage/x11-libs/qt/qt-4.3.1-r1.ebuild : Permission denied

Here is the patch which reportedly works great:

http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=131080&action=view

Could someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

mv ${FILESDIR}/qt-4.3.1-r1_gcc3.4_compile_fix.diff
/qt-4.3.1-r1_gcc3.4_compile_fix.diff

The patch overwrites the *ebuild*, not the *package files*

correct command:
/#patch -N qt-4.3.1-r1_gcc3.4_compile_fix.diff
(/# means root shell, root (/) directory)
