The shell wrapper scripts for scala (scala, scalac, fsc, scaladoc) attempt to set the java property scala.home as part of gjl_java_args. The script seems to be trying to quote the pathname given, but the quotes are sometimes taken directly rather than interpreted as quotes. This is especially noticeable with 'fsc', causing it to generate a directory called '"/usr/share/scala' (the first path component being a directory named double quote) in the current directory. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run: 'fsc' Could not connect to compilation daemon. 2. ls Directory named " present 3. pgrep java The fsc is actually running. Actual Results: Daemon runs, but creates it's state file in a directory starting with a doublequote. Expected Results: fsc should try creating the socket description file in /usr/share/scala, realize it doesn't have permissions, and then create the file in the user's home direcotry.

As a symptom of this, when a scala application is run, it fails because it cannot find any Scala library.

Maybe this only manifests with 3.2*. If you want to test, please upgrade to 4.0 and report it if fixes it, otherwise I will try to find someone with 3.2* to install scala and test.
I upgraded to bash app-shells/bash-4.0_p24, re-emerged scala, and still have exactly the same problem.

We do not add the current directory to the CLASSPATH as it could result in unexpected results.
