Please could you try
cd bin
./scalarisctl checkinstallation

Maybe you have to call 
make java
before that.

make java was run.

~/scalaris/bin$ ./scalarisctl checkinstallation && echo $?
0

BTW, this was recent. Older versions work fine.

FWIW, it works on some machines, in others it doesn't. I'll take a closer look 
later. It might have something todo 
with hostnames...

OK. Had time to look into this, it turns out that I have R13B01 in one of the 
machines. The error was about a 
function not being exported. Looking into erlang's manual:

erlang:port_command/3 is currently not auto imported, but it is planned to be 
auto imported in OTP R14.

and in src/comm_layer/comm_connection.erl we have:

 send({_Address, _Port, Socket}, Pid, Message) ->
     BinaryMessage = term_to_binary({deliver, Pid, Message}),
     erlang:port_command(Socket, BinaryMessage, []),

Since according to the manual:

  port_command(Port, Data, []) equals port_command(Port, Data).

The resulting patch:
