[Qgis-user] [Ubuntu] MrSID for QGIS 1.8 in Ubuntu Precise

[Agustin Lobo]

Really sad.
Is the problem with Mrsid the only reason why you have had to take the
VirtualBox solution?
Crashes of debian-nightly master are to be expected, though.
So, we should all understand that the only way to use Mrsid on linux
qgis is and will be
that the user compiles gdal with that support?
