Probably the best way would be to make sure its in your path and make 
use of which and dirname.
execdir=$(dirname `which linuxParse`)
datadir=$execdir/..

This will only work well if you put it in your path and don't just call 
it directly without it in your path.  A softlink might cause a problem 
too.
