When you get a busybox response like that it means
the busybox binary (in this case, dirname) lacks 
something which is required by the program you
are running.  BL3 uses busybox binaries to reduce
the footprint.

The solution to this problem is to replace the
busybox version of the binary (dirname) with the 
full version from Slackware.

You will find dirname in sh_utils.tgz
You will find sh_utils.tgz in /slakware/a14 
Put dirname in /usr/bin of BL3 (and delete
the dirname link to busybox).

Cheers,
Steven
