Etherpad build fails with output: fsc Exception in thread “main” java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: scala/tools/nsc/CompileClient
Cause: Bad path or symbolic link issue
Solution: Firstly replicate error by typing
fsc
which fsc
if it isn’t the actual literal fsc path then remove any symbolic links to the fsc file in /usr/bin
add the scala/bin path to $path – ie
export path="$PATH:/usr/local/scala-2.7.7/bin"
type fsc again, the error should be gone.
