Scala Configuration
Developers,
I am attempting to configure Scala with IntelliJ 11.1 on Ubuntu.
I have installed Scala through "sudo apt-get install scala"
Scala version returns 2.9.0.1.
I have typed 'whereis scala' which has returned '/usr/bin/scala'
I have installed the IntelliJ Scala plugin, but when I attempt to create a module and it asks for the 'Use Scala distribution' path and I enter /usr/bin/scala', the plugin reports that this is not a valid Scala home.
Also, I am not sure what I enter for the compiler and standard library.
Thanks
Aidy

I think it's expecting a scala distribution which is contained within a single directory -- like what you would get if you downloaded the tarball and extracted it.
You could try finding the directory where the scala jars are stored, probably somewhere in /usr/share or maybe /usr/lib, and point the IDEA config at that, since I think it's trying to find the jars and not the executable. The jars it would be looking for are scala-compiler.jar and scala-library.jar.
EDIT: I just checked the Debian package listing for the scala and scala-library packages and the jars are in /usr/share/java.
Indeed, the plugin is expecting to find a complete Scala distribution withing a single directory.
We will check a case with Scala obtained via the apt-get. Meanwhile, you may try to configure you project manually.
Here are project configuration guides:
Thank you for the report.
