Just wondering if anyone has had this problem, and may know a solution.

When trying to install the smtp-auth path, I have done the following:
Connected to the server by SSH as root, then gone to 
/usr/local/src/qmail-1.03....
 >patch -p0 </tmp/qmail-smtpd-auth-0.26/qmail-smtpd.patch
   which yielded -->patching file qmail-smtpd.c
 >qmailctl stop
   Qmail stopped normally
 >make setup check
   which yielded -->qmail-smtpd.c: In function `main':
   qmail-smtpd.c:787: warning: return type of `main' is not `int'
   ./load qmail-smtpd rcpthosts.o commands.o timeoutread.o \
   timeoutwrite.o ip.o ipme.o ipalloc.o control.o constmap.o \
   received.o date822fmt.o now.o qmail.o cdb.a fd.a wait.a \
   datetime.a getln.a open.a sig.a case.a env.a stralloc.a \
   alloc.a substdio.a error.a str.a fs.a auto_qmail.o  `cat \
   socket.lib`
   ./install
   install: fatal: unable to write .../bin/qmail-lspawn: text busy
   make: *** [setup] Error 111

Server info (if needed):
Red Hat Linux 7.1 OS.
Qmail 1.03 installed
Using Courier POP and IMAP servers.

FYI, I'm trying to install this patch, because someone has been sending 
spam through my system.  I myself can send from a non-local domain to a 
non-local domain through Qmail....which, if I understand correctly, 
shouldn't be happening.  I do have Qmail installed, and configured 
correctly.....at least I think it is, as I followed the installation 
instructions to the letter.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
