Issues with C Dependencies on Ubuntu about golearn HOT 2 CLOSED

Hi Amit, thanks for opening an issue and I apologise for any inconvenience that these omissions may have caused you. The linker flags was something I also did and then forgot to document, so I'll update that shortly, but the version of liblinear that Ubuntu provides via apt-get is quite old and is not really available on other platforms (see #47).

To install the version 1.94 of liblinear on Ubuntu, Travis (our CI system) runs the following:

cd /tmp
wget http://www.csie.ntu.edu.tw/~cjlin/liblinear/oldfiles/liblinear-1.94.tar.gz
tar xf liblinear-1.94.tar.gz
cd liblinear-1.94 
make lib
sudo install -vm644 linear.h /usr/include 
sudo install -vm755 liblinear.so.1 /usr/lib 
sudo ln -sfv liblinear.so.1 /usr/lib/liblinear.so

If these commands don't work on your version of Ubuntu, please follow up.

Works perfectly, thanks! Would be nice to have those liblinear instructions added to the README along with the info about linker flags.
