Struggle with Mac

     As a new bee to Mac, it was difficult to use it for some development in technical stuff . All of a sudden If my windows system does not suit for my application development, I can not replace it by a Mac. So I decided to use Virtual Machine on Windows 7 to run Mac X OS. I tried downloading a couple of versions like Leopard, Snow Leopard, Lion. It consumed a lot of time to fix Mac on Windows 7 due to hardware limitations for the Mac X OS , But finally I could able to run Mac X OS Leopard 10.5.5 on VMWare in my Windows 7. 

       Initially the Mac is not supported to run sbt, Mac that I run misses some applications like Xcode, MacPort. After Installation of Xcode and MacPort in Mac, I could able to install sbt with the following command . 

$ sudo port install sbt 

after installing sbt . I want to show you what I got, an error

After wasting 2 days of time in exploring possibilities of running  mac in Wndows7, Initially it went well, but finally the Mac did not boot due to some hardware limitations.  I am tied and gave it up .
Now I decided to jump to Ubuntu 11.10. I made my system dual boot this time, Windows7 and Ubuntu

errors

Errors that usually found when everything does not go fine

Install Scala in Windows 7

Before Installing Scala, make sure that Java 1.5 or higher version is already installed in the system.

To work with the Installed Scala from the command prompt ,set the path for both Java and Scala.

Open Command Prompt and type javac, if everything is set fine you see the below output
