Hum, this should be something to report to the ubuntugis team. This build 
script isn't maintained by the GDAL project itself.

Looking at the symbols needed by libltidsdk.so from the 8.0.0 SDK, there's no 
reason from requiring libgeotiff to build the MrSID SDK.

I'm wondering if this error doesn't come from the fact that GDAL 1.9.0 in 
ubuntugis is now built with versionned symbols now.
