[Qgis-user] mrsid qgis 2.8 and ubuntu 14.04

[Chris House]

i did try both of the build methods and neither worked. I get "command not
found" for both.

I would prefer a different format but I'm unaware of another file type that
can compress as well as mrsid (usable file sizes) that cover as much
territory (>200km2)

Thanks

Chris
