Hello Yukun,
The reason that patch 113887-38 is failing to install is that patch 113886-38 has not been installed. As this is a dependancy patch of 113887-38, this patch will not install.
Please can you run the following commands and return the output generated:
showrev -p | grep 113886-38
find . -name 113886-38
patchadd /patch_to_patch/113886-38

Yup, I think we haven't install the OpenGL before, so they're not required at all. The rest patches are cinstalled ok, thanks moderator.
