ensime scala errors (class scala.Array not found, object scala not found)

Question

I've installed ensime according to the README.md file, however, I get errors in the inferior-ensime-server buffer with the following:

INFO: Fatal Error: scala.tools.nsc.MissingRequirementError: object scala not found.

Also none of the type identification works for me, I get 'NA' if I get anything at all. C-c t causes emacs to lock up.

I'm running:

Ubuntu 10.04 (64bit version)
emacs 23.1.50.1
ensime from git (as of 3 May 2010)
scala is version 2.8.0.RC1
java is 1.6.0_20 (from sun)
here is a copy of the log: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5309017/ensime.log

Thanks!
Jeff

"scala.tools.nsc.MissingRequirementError: object scala not found" usually means that the standard Scala libarary cannot be found. Have a look at the inferior ensime server buffer, and it should print the classpath that's being used. Here's an excerpt from mine:

INFO: [Classpath = /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/resources.jar:/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/rt.jar:/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/jsse.jar:/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/jce.jar:/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/charsets.jar:/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/rhino.jar:/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/ext/dnsns.jar:/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/ext/pulse-java.jar:/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/ext/sunjce_provider.jar:/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/ext/sunpkcs11.jar:/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/ext/localedata.jar:/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/ext/gnome-java-bridge.jar:/home/aemon/src/misc/ensime/lib/jnotify/jnotify-0.93.jar:/home/aemon/src/misc/ensime/lib/scala/scala-library.jar:/home/aemon/src/misc/ensime/lib/scala/scala-compiler.jar]

Notice the scala-library.jar, second from the end. You probably have to modify your .ensime file so that the :classpath field points to the library jar.
