[Qgis-developer] Problems to read ECW files

Hi,

you must add the ecw support to your gdal using the old er-mapper sdk.

It is quite easy to do that with the "libgdal-ecw" package in the
ubuntugis repository, too bad that the "precise" repo does not have yet
most of the packages, including this one.
