no hard time with scala + netbeans on Linux Ubuntu 10.04

Keko, you have to download the file scala-2.8.0.final.tgz from scala-lang.org, then uncompress it somewhere on your harddisk. (Attention, for securityreasons please change owner and group of the folder you got at unpacking to root / root: "sudo chown -R root:root <folder>/" - root password is required) The path to this folder is $SCALA_HOME!

If you had scala installed from ubuntus repositories via (apt, synaptic, softwarecenter ...) you got version 2.7.7. not 2.8.0 and i miss a lot of files (compared version 2.7.7. to version 2.8.0). This scala is still working;
open a shell and type "scala".

I have "installed"  netbeans 6.9.1 on my Ubuntu 10.04 by downloading + unpacking netbeans-6.9.1-201008030030-ml-javase.zip, scala-2.8.0.final.tgz and
nb-scala-6.9v1.1.0.zip. Netbeans and scala was unpacked to /home/<user>/.Software WITH changing owner:group of .Software and all subfolders to root:root!!!)

Don't have a hard time ... by the way, the book "Programming in Scala" is one of the best programming books i ever read ...
