Jeff, I never wrote that the 'bin' directory would be sitting directly in target. I wrote that it would be in the distribution artifacts in target. Please run 'ls -R' in distribution/target and post the results so that we can be on the same page. Or log into people.apache.org and repro this so that I can log in and see what you got. The build instructions are tilted toward a 'traditional maven build.' They assume that most people don't want a full distribution with a 'bin' directory. They just want to build the libraries. So the instructions don't talk about the release process. So, yes, the instructions could use some help here. --benson > > If the procedure detailed in the wiki does not produce a bin directory at > $MAHOUT_HOME, then all of the examples which refer to $MAHOUT_HOME/bin/mahout > ... will fail too. > > -----Original Message----- > From: Benson Margulies [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Monday, October 25, 2010 3:05 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [VOTE] 0.4 take 2 > > If you build with -Prelease, you should find the bin directory hiding > down in distribution/target. > > I can't easily imagine how it would fail to work for you. > > > On Mon, Oct 25, 2010 at 5:01 PM, Jeff Eastman <[email protected]> wrote: >> Well, I downloaded >> "https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachemahout-005/org/apache/mahout/mahout-distribution/0.4/mahout-distribution-0.4-src.tar.gz";. >> I've unpacked and built it as described below.
