== Dependencies
If you install Classifier from source, you'll need to install Martin Porter's stemmer algorithm with RubyGems as follows:
gem install stemmer
-For LSI, you will need the following libraries:
+If you would like to speed up LSI classification by at least 10x, please install the following libraries:
GNU GSL:: http://www.gnu.org/software/gsl
rb-gsl:: http://rb-gsl.rubyforge.org
+Notice that LSI will work without these libraries, but as soon as they are installed, Classifier will make use of them. No configuration changes are needed, we like to keep things ridiculously easy for you.
