how to use a custom distance measure with kmeans?

Hello,

Can you please tell me how can I use a custom made distance measure with Mahout in command line?
I am trying to do a clusterizationusing this distance like:

mahout kmeans -i in/sequence/ \
       -c  out/centroids/clusters-0 \
       -o  out/clusters-out/ \
       -x 10 \
       -dm MyDistanceMeasure \
       -ow

Thank you in advance,
Mihai

Are you getting any errors?
Can you specify fully qualified class name of your distance measure (like
com.xxx.MyDistanceMeasure) and check?

Best,
