I apologize in advance if this is already in the forums, i did spend some time looking through the forums and could not find anything.
I am running into issues with installing psptoolchain with a space in my username. Unfortunately I do not have enough bash experience to fix this myself... I will take a look around google in a bit to figure it out, but I figured somebody would have a quick fix for this. I have narrowed it down to
SRCDIR="`pwd`"
needing to replace the space with a "\ "
Username = "Neil White"
the error I am receiveing is

yeah, i just realized i started in that directory, realizing `pwd` means current directory, I have minimal experience in the *nix world. so I am still learning. I changed it to the root / dir and all is working now.
Sorry for the posts.
