Having problem running on Linux (Ubuntu 12.04 Precise)

[recognosco]

I checked out the repo to: /usr/local/src/PathPicker and created the symlink like this:
root@precisebox:/usr/local/bin# ln -s /usr/local/src/PathPicker/fpp fpp

then when i try running fpp, i see this message:

hmuser@precisebox:~$ which fpp
/usr/local/bin/fpp
hmuser@precisebox:~$ fpp --help
/usr/local/bin/fpp: line 18: cd: /usr/local/bin//usr/local/src/PathPicker: No such file or directory
python2: can't open file '/src/printHelp.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

more info:

hmuser@precisebox:~$ readlink /usr/local/bin/fpp

good thing is, the issue is fixed by changing the commented out line to the line after:

while [ -h "$WHEREAMI" ]; do
  # WHEREAMI=$(dirname "$WHEREAMI")"/"$(readlink "$WHEREAMI")
  WHEREAMI=$(readlink "$WHEREAMI")
done

hopefully this helps.
