Problems cding into ../data?

[bennlich]

I was able to follow the steps in the readme without any problem, so good job writing clear instructions!

A friend of mine is running into a weird error though (on a windows machine). Even though he's using the vagrant/virtualbox vm, he gets this error during makecsv.sh:

He's able to cd manually, but for some reason it's not working in the bash script. Any ideas about this?

Super interesting. Shouldn't be an issue since it's running on the bash inside the VM. Unfortunately I don't have a Windows machine handy so I can't test this. Maybe an absolute path would fix it?

That's why I was surprised too! I'll have him try an absolute path.

No luck with the absolute path. Weird. He's able to run the scripts manually (i.e. typing them line by line into putty), but the images generated by processing are blank. I'm going to take a look at his people.csv file.

I just tried running the process again with putty on XP, and it still works
here – no problems with that step. I'd suggest trying another shell – I've
heard weird things about the way MinGW treats paths. At least one SO answer
(http://stackoverflow.com/a/5999667/738675) recommends that you don't
install MinGW in a path with a space, as in "Aquame Matthews" … might be
unrelated, but you never know with this stuff.
