title: Getting "cat: /release: No such file or directory" when running scala
body: <p>I tried to install <code>Scala 2.12.1</code> on my Mac (El Capitan) via Homebrew and also by downloading the binaries from <a href="https://www.scala-lang.org/download/">https://www.scala-lang.org/download/</a>.</p>
  
  <p>In both cases, whenever I run <code>scala</code> (or <code>scalac</code>, <code>scaladoc</code>, etc) I get this printed to screen:</p>
  
  <pre><code>cat: /release: No such file or directory
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The action is successful however. E.g. <code>scala myscript.scala</code> works just fine, but that error message gets printed first.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone have an idea of why that's happening?</p>
