Well, theres two ways it can be done, the patch can be run from either
just outside the directory, or inside the directory its patching,
chances are that if you attempt to patch from oputside the directory and
it asks you which file you wish to patch then the patch was meant to be
run within the directory. Give that a try and see what happens.
Also, while the file is in gzip form you can patch with the following
command from either inside or outside depending on the characteristics
of the patch:
zcat patch-2.2.3.tar.gz | patch -p
