Hello,
   I am a new to mahout and am facing trouble in figuring how to use
mahout.I have tried to run some sample commands.The execution resulted in a
error, can some one tell me the reason for the error and how to resolve it.

/home/newscontext/solr/solr-4.2.0/example/solr/collection1/data/index
--output tmp/part-out.vec --field 0 --dictOut /tmp/dict.out --norm 2
