Object actor is not a member of package akka

Question

I am absolutely brand new to Scala and even java.Forget about akka framework. I am trying to setup my windows(64) machine to run scala and an akka actor model example. However after running the following command.

H:\ALLDOS\akka-2.0.5>scalac -cp lib\akka\akka-actor-2.0.5.jar -classpath "*.jar:dependencies/*.jar" tutorial\pi.scala

I am getting this error

tutorial\pi.scala:6: error: object actor is not a member of package akka import akka.actor._

The line 6 of pi.scala is

import akka.actor._

Please tell me the basics of how to resolve this error.

Scala version is 2.9.3 Java is 1.7.079 Akka installed is 2.0.5 . I am running through a command prompt and not through sbt.

Answer 1

Make sure to properly list the latest dependency in the build.sbt file. For akka actor it's:

libraryDependencies += "com.typesafe.akka" %% "akka-actor" % "2.4.4"
