MySQL Slow Query Log error

In setting up Slow Query Logs on my server, I ran into the following error:

mysqldumpslow
Can't determine basedir from 'my_print_defaults mysqld' -c -c /etc/mysql/my.cnf output:  at /usr/bin/mysqldumpslow line 38.

It's a bug. Turns out there's an extra -c in the /usr/bin/mysqldumpslow file. Remove it and it should work.Found that solution here.
