git fails for libgphoto2 and gphoto2 #64

Very nice script, by the way! So much easier than doing all this manually. Thank you for your efforts!

When I ran the script I got an error about trying to run git with sudo. I had to change

''' if (git clone $branch_gphoto https://github.com/gphoto/gphoto2.git) ''' to ''' if (/usr/bin/git clone $branch_gphoto https://github.com/gphoto/gphoto2.git) ''' for both gphoto2 and libgphoto2.

I'm still learning about linux, so hopefully my fix wasn't a big no-no. Hopefully this will help you or someone else.

thanks @FormerLurker for your feedback but it seems related to your particular configuration. GIT should be available from your path. Maybe you have more than one git installed?

I see it related to https://github.com/gonzalo/gphoto2-updater/issues/56 and some raspberry pi specific distributions like https://github.com/guysoft/OctoPi/issues/373.

I'll test if your /usr/bin/git trick works

Thanks for responding. I thought I replied to this earlier, but it looks like I did not! Feel free to close this ticket out since I now know there is some trickery going on in OctoPi that makes my changes necessary, but only for that particular distribution.

Maybe I can ask a quick noob question? Is there a quick way to uninstall gphoto2 after running this script? apt listdoesn't show gphoto2, but compgen -c does. I want to uninstall it because I'm creating a tutorial and want to show the installation of gphoto2. If all else fails I can just re-flash my sd card, but I'd rather not :)
