If a symlink to the mvim script has the wrong permissions (sadly easy to
do on OS X), it fails with some rather confusing error messages. The
change below fixes this:
while [ -L "$self_path" ]; do
next_path=`readlink $self_path` || { echo "error $? reading link
$self_path (are permissions on the link correct?)" 2>&1; exit 2; }
cd "`dirname $next_path`"
self_path=`basename $next_path`
done
