[Qgis-user] qgis & mrsid used to work

[M S]

Great, thanks.  This may only be on the 64bit platform, as I did the
same update this morning on a Karmic 32bit system, and the MRSID still
works.

Originally I installed karmic 64bit, then updated all.  Then I added
the qgis/stable and ubuntugis/unstable, and wound up with a qgis
installation that wouldnt work with mr sid. (the gdal1.5.0 issue
perhaps?)

When I took out the qgis/stable, and only used ubuntugis/unstable, I
did get a qgis that could use SIDs.  It looks like last night there
was an update to the ubuntugis?  and when i updated/upgraded, then the
mrsid didnt work on Karmic 64bit.

Interestingly, I upgraded on Karmic qgis and grass (same versions
though?) this morning also on karmic 32bit, and mrsid still worked.

Much thanks,
Mark
