Bart,

What version is the ESDK?

Does "gdalinfo --format mrsid" have a line reporting
"Supports: CreateCopy()..."?

Are you building on windows or linux?   Is the -DMRSID_ESDK
compile option in effect when mrsiddataset.cpp is compiled?
My guess is some sort of configuration problem is preventing
from the encoding support getting enabled.
