Description:

At https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/tutorial-sql-intro.html it is
written:
$ cd ..../src/tutorial
$ make
---
$ cd ..../tutorial
$ psql -s mydb

The four dots are not valid, either remove two of them or replace all four
with proper path such as ../..

Your solutions are equally invalid even if they can be executed -
likely with a different error than what you are seeing now.

The current command is symbolic in nature since where in the local
filesystem tree src/tutorial exists is unknown.

If this is "fixed" at all, so that it is a valid and useful command,
the change would be to simply make src/tutorial a relative path:

cd src/tutorial

I personally find no confusion with the existing code, which points
out that the where you cd to requires being in the right initial
location, but would accept a purely relative path.

I would not accept randomly adding relative ancestor navigation since
the only reason it is being suggested is due to misunderstanding the
intent of the original.
