After downloading it is not able to find jarfile. I am running it in the right folder, right?

code at codes-MacBook-Pro.local  ~
$ cd Downloads/IScala-0.1
code at codes-MacBook-Pro.local  ~/Downloads/IScala-0.1
$ ls
LICENSE    README.md  bin/       lib/
code at codes-MacBook-Pro.local  ~/Downloads/IScala-0.1
$ bin/console
readlink: illegal option -- f

The scripts in bin use readlink -f $0 to get the script dir.

However, -f means different things to GNU readlink and the BSD readlink provided with OS X.

The scripts should probably use something more portable.
