Due to the above error, I cannot follow the guide as instructed. I follow it to that point, and the error is spit out. <br><br>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.<br>
<br>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.<br clear="all">

</div>Are you following the guide in INSTALL in the top of the source tree?<br>
Note that the guide in 1.7 still refers to svn but you should retrieve<br>
the sources from github now.<br>
<br>
sudo apt-get build-dep qgis<br>
<br>
should get you all the build dependencies you need including flex.<br>
<br>
