[Qgis-user] [Ubuntu] MrSID for QGIS 1.8 in Ubuntu Precise

[Bernd Vogelgesang]

Hi Agustin,

nope, no answer.
Actually my very disappointing workaround was, to install VirtualBox and  
Windows on it and run QGIS from there.
On native Linux, i only use the debian-nightly master for playing around  
(or better: watching it crash).

Cheers
Bernd
