Actually following the instructions from here:
http://baby.bedroom.gen.nz/~clive/kicad-re/tutorial/kicad-mainline-debian-install.php

I do not seem to be able to compile KiCad on a Debian 7, 64 bit
machine. Error here:

$ sudo make -j 4
Scanning dependencies of target boost
Scanning dependencies of target potrace
[  0%] Performing patch step for 'boost'

Google does not help much with "bzr: ERROR: unknown command "patch""

Any idea?

thanks
Fabrizio
