[Qgis-user] MrSid

[Lee]

My issue with attempting to install qgis from source, as directed in the
guides is an error when trying to use ccmake

" CMake Error at cmake/Flex.cmake:14 (MESSAGE):
   flex not found - aborting "

This error has prevented me from going any further.

Again, to recap, I have mrsid incorporated into gdal, but it does not work
in qgis. Giovanni has suggested qgis might automatically be falling back to
an older version of gdal, whereas I have incorporated mrsid into 1.8.

all the best,
