+Third-party libraries are stored here. Currently, we use Shapely and
+lp_solve (along with its Python bindings). To install them, simply run
+'make' within this directory. You can also run 'make lib' in the
+top-level directory.
-Shapely should be downloaded and extracted:
-
- wget http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/S/Shapely/Shapely-1.0.14.tar.gz
- tar -xvzf Shapely-1.0.14.tar.gz
- mv Shapely-1.0.14 Shapely
- rm Shapely-1.0.14.tar.gz
-
-This will probably be handled by the makefile.
+You will need GEOS installed for Shapely to work properly.
