Hang on everyone. Jeff is trying to prove that you can build the distro, bin and all, from the src tarball.
He's right! Something's wrong. No bin directory If I fetch from svn at the mahout-0.4 tag and build, I get a bin. If I grab from the repo, I do not get a bin. I know what the problem is. Since the mahout shell script lives outside any of the maven projects, it is not swept into the source archive all all. So, I VOTE -1, and I will fix this. I owe Jeff a giant apology and a thank-you for finding this. The fix is to move that bin directory. I'm going to do that right now.
