When I try to install Orange (http://orange.biolab.si/download/) on ubuntu, I get these messages:
gcc -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O2 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -fPIC -I/usr/include/python2.7 -I/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/numpy/core/include -Isource/include -Isource/orange/libli...
the problem with your statement is that you think is personal, is just not, there's nothing harsh in downvoting someone question if they didn't even bothered to say what they gathered from searches
Granted, it isn't the best written or researched question, but we get worse questions through here all the time. My computer broke when I did <insert something silly>. At least he's actually asking about something.
@terdon A question about a gcc compiler warning seems programming related to me. At least, I don't see how it is U&L related in any way. The question has nothing to do with the nix platform. Nor was it related to the package he was trying to build.
But if you think it is on topic, I'm not inclined to argue the point.
@FaheemMitha Hmm. Yes. My thinking is that installing stuff on *nix is on topic and since that is what is being attempted, I would consider it on topic.
@FaheemMitha I read that as "I got this weird message when installing. What does it mean and do I need to do anything?" which seems very much on topic here.

@crossboy007 what is that? note, pip is a separate system from Debian/Ubuntu's package manager. You don't want to use that for things that are available for Ubuntu.
Is there a way to find all Python PyPI packages that were installed with easy_install or pip? I mean, excluding everything that was/is installed with the distributions tools (in this case apt-get on Debian).
@crossboy007 i'm afk for a bit. Try asking on chat.stackoverflow.com/rooms/6/python (if you want) how to remove locally installed packages. In any case, I'll fix up my answer when I get back.
The shortest clearest answer going forward is: don't play around with the system Python packages. Install any other versions of Python you want to $HOME. Anything else gets you into a terrible mess as things interact in odd ways.
@FaheemMitha Rarely installation issues - we get a lot of people asking for programming help.
Heh. Everyone starts clueless I guess ... and frankly getting multiple Python versions to coexist peacefully, and preventing pip and apt messing each other up, can be a nightmare if you don't know the "right" way.
But life sometimes intervenes when least wanted ;)
(I'm not really a vim expert either, I'm excited more to learn than teach). I've already learned more in the few days the beta has been open than I've learned in the last 3 years of being on SE and using vim off and on :P
@jimmij he said "it is not working". He didn't provide any details. I think it was closed in a bit of a hurry, since clearly info could be provided (though that does not appear to have happened yet).
I wonder if people are perhaps not a bit quick draw around here. If a poster is not paying attention, he could easily think that the Hold meant to go away.
Yes, I know the notice talks about rewording and stuff, but people often don't read things.
@FaheemMitha he asked 3 hours ago, I know that without OP info this cannot be solved, but not everybody spend 24h/day on this site, I think we should give people some time to respond to comments before just closing their questions.
@mikeserv In the trap $? is the exit status of the last waited-for command. So it will only reflect the received signal if the signal was also delivered to the currently running command and that command doesn't handle or ignore it, so it doesn't really answer the question except for the case where the whole script is killed (signal delivered to the whole process group for instance as part of job control)
@jimmij Agreed. but it has not been closed, it has been put on hold.
But yes, see above. I think you have a point. If the question is gibberish or obviously very low quality (and we get a lot of those), I usually just go ahead to VTC. But with missing information I think going a little slower might be reasonable.
I think one concern is that if they aren't closed the site will fill up with unanswered and unanswerable crap.
Which is a perfectly real possibility. Look at the rest of the Net. SE, imperfect though it is, is a haven of order in comparison.
@FaheemMitha you are not driving people away. Would you accept someone coming to your house, opening the fridge and eating the strawberry cake? I guess you don't, that's what we are doing. We ain't allowing people to get to the fridge.
well, I'm saying that none of the moderating actions users can do (voting, closing, deleting), drive users away, what drives users away is crappy content which is what we should strive to keep out
@Braiam Hmm. Hard to know what drives people away, but certainly we don't want tons of junk. Or, I should say, more junk. The quality of stuff that comes through here is hardly stellar.
