After you installed the MrSID SDK, did you run "ranlib" on the MrSID
library ? MacOS X has the annoying "feature" that the linker will refuse
to link libraries whose last file modification date is newer than the
last time it's archive directory was updated. This means that if you
copy a library to a different location, you must then run "ranlib" on
it.

With kind regards,
