No, you are not.

This is a known problem with the installation script.

You can do one of two things here:
1) Edit the installation script to remove the need for whoami
2) Create a script called whoami like this:
cat >/bin/whoami
echo "root"
<CTRL-D>
chmod a+x /bin/whoami

<CTRL-D> means press CTRL-D. This is the UNIX EOF marker.
