[gdal-dev] MrSID won't compile with GDAL 1.9 - libgeotiff issue

[Gavin Fleming]

Hi

I've just upgraded to gdal 1.9 on Ubuntu 11.10. When I tried to compile 
MrSID support (which was working fine in 1.8) I get this:

checking for XTIFFClientOpen in -lgeotiff... no
configure: error: libgeotiff is required to build GDAL MrSID driver

with both these MrSID versions:

gdal-mrsid-build 
/usr/local/MrSID_DSDK-8.5.0.3422-linux.x86-64.gcc44/Raster_DSDK/
(for this I also had to disable jp2mrsid in the gdal-mrsid-build script)

and

gdal-mrsid-build /usr/local/Geo_DSDK-7.0.0.2167/

I have libgeotiff 1.3 and 1.2.5 installed.

Anyone had the same experience?
