The current build is broken as sometimes happens with development
https://builds.apache.org/job/Mahout-Quality/1658/console.
Till the time it gets fixed, I would suggest to skip tests and build.

Hi, I'm installing Mahout, following this steps (

It seems it is know (same web page says: P.S.: Sometimes some tests fail
while building mahout from source. In such cases use – user1@ubuntu-server:~$
mvn -DskipTests install)
I'd like to understand what exactly the test run are... are they optional?
An installation with -DskipTests is the same than the "clean" one?
Are any documentation available explaining the installation a bit...?
Thanks in advance.
