[Qgis-user] qgis & mrsid used to work

[M S]

I had a working QGIS and Mr SID, but just did an update to Karmic
which installed new qgis and grass (same versions?) and subsequently
broke the mr sid relationship (I cant add MR SIDs to QGIS).

I am using this site to install
http://n2.nabble.com/Directions-to-get-mrsid-support-in-GQIS-and-other-packages-using-gdal-on-Ubuntu-td3169342.html

Everything seems fine with the creation of gdal_MrSID.so.

gdal_GRASS.so, gdal_MrSID.so and ogr_GRASS.so are all in the
/usr/lib/gdal16plugins directory.  nothing is in the
/usr/lib/gdal15plugins directory.

I notice that libgdal1.5 gets installed from the ubuntu repo, while
additionally libgdal1.6 gets installed from the ubuntugis directory.
(?)

gdalinfo --formats lists MR SID as a recognized format, but QGIS
doesnt have it in the list nor recognizes it as  GDAL raster.

Thanks,
Mark
