To include MrSID support in qgis when using Slackware 13, you must
build gdal from source and include the LizardTech sdk by adding this
line to your gdal 'configure' command:<br>
<br>
--with-mrsid=/path_to_sdk<br>
<br>
in my case:<br>
<br>
./configure --with-mrsid=/home/hammack/downloads/Geo_DSDK-7.0.0.2167 <br>
<br>
Do a 'make' and 'make install' as usual.<br>
<br>
At this point typing 'gdal --formats' should give you a list of
supported formats which includes:<br>
<br>
MrSID (ro): Multi-resolution Seamless Image Database (MrSID)<br>
JP2MrSID (ro): MrSID JPEG2000<br>
<br>
If this looks okay, rebuild qgis from source and you're finished.<br>
<br>
To obtain the LizardTech sdk, go to <font

are missing from Slack 13) at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://gotslack.org/qgis">http://gotslack.org/qgis</a>.<br>
