patch: **** Only garbage was found in the patch input.

I'm trying to compile Numpy and Scipy on Xeon Phi. While running the Makefile, I got an error saying patch: **** Only garbage was found in the patch input.

From reading the log, the error occurs when patch is applied by the command : "cd /home/dkl524/jbang/mic/python && patch -p1 < ../xcompile.patch"

Does anyone know solution to this?

Realized that the website (randomsplat), from which the patch is downloaded, wasn't working correctly. Trying to run make file using a different patch file now.

I get following error when running the command: cd numpy && PYTHONXCPREFIX=$(MIC_PY_HOME) python numpyxc.py build"

Why is it looking for python 2.6 all of a sudden. I thought the makefile is supposed to install 2.7.3
