Mahout: "Error creating assembly archive job"

I'm trying to install Mahout on a Ubuntu 12.10 server but I'm running into a build error and i can't figure out where it's failing.

The error message if i'm running it without the -e flag is:

Failed to create assembly: Error creating assembly archive job: error in opening zip file

The steps to reproduce this error are:

  1. Checkout the repo with: svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/mahout/trunk
  2. cd trunk/
  3. mvn install -e

mvn -version output:

Apache Maven 2.2.1 (rdebian-8)
Java version: 1.7.0_17
Java home: /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle/jre

mvn install -e output:

Solution

  • Resolved the problem by installing maven (Apache Maven 3.0.4) instead of the maven2 package and removing the ~/.m2/ directory.
