[Ubuntu] Hello and question

[Alan Boudreault]

Hi guys,

I've updated gdal-mrsid-src in UbuntuGIS. (apt-get update && ...)

* I fixed symbol lookup errors (There was a new object in 1.6.x to 
include in the makefile)
* I enabled MrSID JPEG2000 support by default.

FYI, a similar package for ECW should be available in the next weeks.

Thanks a lot for your tests, really appreciated. I've never used MrSID 
data, so.. :)

Alan
