Getting this error everytime I'm trying to install anything.

Compiling IPA dictionary for Mecab. This takes long time...

Two things. 1. What version of Ubuntu are you using? 2. You need to deal with the dependencies.

Are you installing packages with `dpkg`? If yes, then you need to take care of dependencies manually. This is why it's recommended to use `apt`, which handles dependencies for you.

"*error while loading shared libraries: libmecab.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory*" strongly suggests that the `libmecab2` package is missing. Install it. Curious what command or instructions you are using to install, since `apt` should normally install all dependencies (like libmecab2) for you automatically.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
