[Qgis-user] Ubuntu: How to add MrSID and ECW support into GDAL

[Daniel Morissette]

FYI, I forwarded this exchange to Alan Boudreault (UbuntuGIS 
maintainer), and he indicated that the ldconfig step is not required for 
MrSid since we use a static library (there is no shared lib available 
for MrSid). In the ECW case, the ldonfig step is required, and he made a 
note about this for when we have a real tutorial (for now we only link 
to an email from the list archives).

Thanks for reporting the issue... and as Afustin wrote, this is a wiki, 
so feel free to contribute and improve it.
