You need "patch" executable installed. In debian/ubuntu:

apt-get install patch

I don't know how it is in centos.

Go to the zabbix 1.4.1 source directory (contains configure) and run:

patch -p0 < path_to_the_1.patch

if you want to check everything will go correctly use --dry-run opition:

patch -p0 --dry-run < path_to_the_1.patch

Rest of steps:
- compile patched zabbix
- stop zabbix server
- backup the old binaries
- install the new one
- run zabbix server

thanks

this is helpful for non-linux users like me. dunno if such (patch usage) content is listed in Zabbix Manual but i hope it does or be added if it doesnt...

cheers
