patch / install problem

I have a user who needs the X static libraries installed on a 4.0g box for
Oracle Forms. This is subset OSFXLIBA445. I tried to install it, and it
complained about patch 00118 (fixes a memory leak in one of the static X libs)
being installed. It told me to remove the patch, install the subset, then
re-install the patch and also patch 00120 (another X lib memory leak patch).

When I use du patch to try and remove the patch, it tells me that I have to be
in single user mode. I'm new at Tru64 admin...do I really have to go to single
user just to do some software management on static X libraries. This is a
production machine so that would put me off-hours and I'd prefer to avoid it if
I can.
