Failed to initialize compiler: object java.lang.Object in compiler mirror not found

Question

On Ubuntu 16.04, I installed scala:

$ls ~/Binary/scala-2.11.8
bin  doc  lib  man
$grep -A 2 SCALA ~/.bashrc
SCALA=~/Binary/scala-2.11.8
SBT=~/Bi         


        

Answer 1

I ran into the same issue. Uninstall Java 9

sudo rm -fr /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-9.jdk/
sudo rm -fr /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin
sudo rm -fr /Library/PreferencePanes/JavaControlPanel.prefPane

Install Java 8.

Everything seems to good now.

Btw: this was for mac. Might be useful for you.
