Git installation troubles

[cboden]

I have a couple issues with the installation via git. I'm on OS X 10.10.3 with Python 2.7.6.

1. The installation instructions create a cyclic symbolic link: ls -ltr | tail -n 1

lrwxr-xr-x (etc) fpp -> ./fpp

Adjusting the ln command to use the full path for the source fixes that.

2. After the symbolic link is setup correctly I get the following error when running fpp --help:

/usr/local/bin/fpp: line 18: cd: /usr/local/bin//usr/local/PathPicker: No such file or directory
python: can't open file '/src/printHelp.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

I have placed PathPicker in /usr/local/PathPicker and linked the binary to /usr/local/bin/fpp.

had the exact same experience, fixed by changing

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

to

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

@cboden, @kkoch986 - could you please try #16 and see if it works for you?
