Missing patch files when applying patch

Question

Hello
I have been trying to apply the Oracle 8.1.5 patch and I have
followed the instructions given. On running the script
(sh linux815patch.sh)it goes through the motions of installing
the patch for about a second and then stops with a message
"missing patch files". I have dowloaded the patch from two
different locations twice and it still gives the same problem.
Has anyone come across this and how was the problem solved ?
Many thanks

: If you run the command 'find . -type f -print | wc -l' (from
the

It works now
