<TITLE>How to Use MR.SID raster files in mapserver 4.4.2 ?</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<BR>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hello,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">We have compiled version 4.4.2 of mapserver (and the necessary libraries) from the sources on a unix box.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">It is now configured and working. There is however one problem. </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">We have a couple of Mr. SID files and want to use these as a layer.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">We downloaded the libraries from lizardtech and recompiled GDAL with support for Mr.SID</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">We did tiled the Mr. SID files and configured a layer. There are no error messages, but I see no data in the map.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">We tried to look at an individual Mr. SID file, but then we got the following error :</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT FACE="Arial">MrSIDRasterBand::IRasterIO(): Failed to load image. scene magnifGDALRasterIO() failed: drawGDAL(): Unable to access file. GDALRasterIO() failed: drawGDAL() </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">A recompile of mapserver had no effect.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">The first question is: Is it possible to look at Mr.SID rasters through mapserver ?</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">And the second question is, if so, what's the trick ?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Does anyone have knowledge on this subject and willing to share his/her information ?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Thanks in advance,</FONT>
