[Qgis-user] mrsid qgis 2.8 and ubuntu 14.04

[Andrew]

Chris,

I am not an expert but I think that those instructions do not work because
the plugin "libgdal-mrsid-src" is no longer in the repository.  Have you
looked at these instructions from a couple years ago?
http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/MrSID-raster-and-QGIS-in-linux-td5090885.html


I never got around to trying it since I dont use mrsid images very often
and when I do I just do it on my windows machine, but the instructions are
more up to date and dont rely on the plugin.
