[Qgis-user] MrSID raster and QGIS in linux

[john polo]

Hello,
I am using Fedora 19 on a 32 bit machine. I had installed QGIS 1.8 and 
the GDAL packages, but was not able to use .sid rasters from the 
geospatial gateway that the feds run. I was getting an error message 
saying that it was not a supported raster source when I tried to load 
the file. Is there perhaps an additional package that's not obvious to a 
newb that would help with support for MrSID in Fedora?
