[Qgis-user] qgis 1.5 & mrsid

[Mark Seibel]

I have qgis 1.5 and gdal1.7.0.  I'm using ubuntugis-unstable repo and
on Kubuntu 10.4

My mr sid images are drawing, but without respect to a coordinate
system.  They show in QGIS non-georeferenced (draws to raw image
coordinates), but doing gdalinfo on it I can see it has spatial
parameters.  Also, there is an .sdw.

When I do the building of gdal and mrsid, I get the following error.
It looks like something changed in the ../include/support directory,
but I am not sure why?

/usr/local$ sudo gdal-mrsid-build Geo_DSDK-7.0.0.2167
grep: Geo_DSDK-7.0.0.2167/include/support/lt_base.h: No such file or directory

Thanks for any help.  Glad to relay more detailed info to help solve!
