Comment 35 for bug 319656

Hello I am new to Linux and nmap and I am getting the same bug as Whoop at the top of the page. I have read through the posts on this page and see the proposed patches but I am not sure how to apply the patches. They are in text format and I am not sure where to apply them. I am using Ubuntu client/desktop. I could use some instructions on how to apply the necessary patch as I need to learn how to use nmap.

A bit confused.
