chris@chris-laptop:~$"

now what cd .. am i trying to get to to build libpit?

Here's the result of trying what I thought might work.

"chris@chris-laptop:~$ cd Benjamin-Dobell-Heimdall-47faaf0/libpit/

bash: cd: Benjamin-Dobell-Heimdall-47faaf0/libpit/: No such file or directory"

Thanks a lot for your help I really appreciate it.
