Due to the above error, I cannot follow the guide as instructed. I follow it
to that point, and the error is spit out.
At this point, due to other suggestions, I am utlilizing a qgis "master"
which cautions heavy construction. I would much prefer to revert back to
Wroclaw, but upon my last attempt the qgis install failed entirely due to a
change in dependencies. I could not figure out a way around it, and am still
using the "master" version.
It seems the more I dig into this, the more problems that develop. This is
troubling, as it seems others have been able to incorporate MrSID without
much trouble. Unfortunately it seems so many different things have been
tried, that the program is such a mess none of the current solutions are
working as intended. I am at a loss of how to proceed.

all the best,
