[Qgis-user] qgis & mrsid

[M S]

I got this to work under 64bit jaunty, QGIS Mimas by following these
instructions:
http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/qgis-user/2009-June/005716.html

When I tried the same installation on 32bit karmic, QGIS Mimas, all
seemed ok from output, however QGIS does not recognize mrsid format.
gdalinfo --formats shows that there is mrsid support.

here's the output from the build:

Any suggestions?
