Walking back home yesterday, I was beyond appalled to see an oversized red truck with a massive plow driving illegally all over the sidewalk and grass outside the Church of Ascension, on the corner of North Street and Linwood Avenue. The driver didn't just stop at the snow. He took a good chunk of the grass, dirt and pavement along with the snow and then, flouting all sense of common decency, tossed all that snow and dirt all over Linwood Avenue, over the driveway of
(e:pmt)'s house on 24 Linwood and heaped the rest on the sidewalk in front of the LinNor Apartment building across the street.
Is this kind of plowing authorized by the Church of Ascension? I find it despicable that a church, whose main goals are to serve the community cares so little about its neighbours that it goes out of its way by hiring or authorizing obnoxious illegal plows to make life more miserable for them.
I was also extremely shocked to see this church-hired plow truck driver almost run over
(e:Matthew) who told me later that he had stepped out to express his concern over this plow outrage. When
(e:Matthew) asked if the church-hired plow truck had a city license to drive and plow all over the sidewalk and generally be a menace to the neighbourhood, the driver did not respond well and drove off in a huff, heaping even more snow over the lawn of 24 Linwood.
(e:Matthew) was left to clean up the tons of snow he had just shoveled before the plow truck destroyed all his efforts.
Agreed that it is a church and churches do serve a religious purpose, but this definitely does not give them a blanket approval to do whatever they wish, break the laws and overstep common courtesies to their neighbours. At the very least, I hope city hall takes a stern view of this very objectionable, disruptive and quite possibly, illegal snow plowing authorized or encouraged by the Church of Ascension, issues a warning for future violations and fines the church authorities.
my guess is that you chose not to or/and distro didn't give you a dev environment by default when you installed it. I can tell you from experience that if you actually install all the libs that the error messages tell you are missing, you will be able to successfully compile from source. At the very least you will need the appropriate GCC (Gnu Compiler Collection) and I would suggest that (e:paul) is probably a better person to help you with this than I am.
Did you all go yoga today? What was the toughest pose you twisted into?? Enquiring minds want to know!!!
Illustrating clearly that I hardly know what I am talking about... and that it is as toxic as cooking a grocery bag. (Some R related tarballs that I couldn't find as .debs - maybe because I don't know yet how to search effectively for them.)
You can compile source code found in a tarball but you can't compile a tarball. That's like saying I am going to cook this grocery bag for dinner. What are you compiling?
