SBT: sbt.InvalidComponent: Could not find required component: 'compiler-interface-src' - scala

Question

i am trying to run a Akka application in a cluster. Actually i have to Linux machines. Both have the same setup with sbt 0.13.13 and scala 2.10.4, the same Java, even the same kernel version.
For testing the application i have a exact copy of the project on both the machines. When i compile on the first machine, everything works fine. But as soon as i try to compile with
$ sbt compile
on the second machine i get following error messege:
sbt.InvalidComponent: Could not find required component 'compiler-interface-src'

I tried the only suggestions i found on this thing called internet:
I removed .ivy2 .m2 .sbt folders
Anyone having a clue what is going wrong there?

Answer 1

An alternative option is to update sbt manually. Follow the instructions on the following page for the package type that your distribution uses: http://www.scala-sbt.org/download.html

Answer 2

Had the same error.
After deleting these directories it started working again.
~/.m2
~/.ivy2
On windows, they're located under %userprofile%
