I eventually found and installed the 1.9.0-2~oneiric1 package
(whichever version of Ubuntu oneiric is) and installed that. I've tried
to configure it several times. First it couldn't find lt_base.h:
jason at rooibos:~/tmp/mrsid/libgdal-mrsid-1.9.0$ ./configure

I'm not sure whether I need to point it at the Lidar_DSDK or
Raster_DSDK subdirectories of the MrSID DSDK but I went with Raster
which may have been the correct choice but then it hung up on jpeg 2000:
jason at rooibos:~/tmp/mrsid/libgdal-mrsid-1.9.0$ ./configure

support requested, but libltikdu.a not found.
jason at rooibos:~/tmp/mrsid/libgdal-mrsid-1.9.0$
So I tried it without jp2mrsid as I read on the post of someone else
failing at this that JPEG 2000 support is built-in to gdal, but it hung
up on libgeotiff:
jason at rooibos:~/tmp/mrsid/libgdal-mrsid-1.9.0$ ./configure

jason at rooibos:~/tmp/mrsid/libgdal-mrsid-1.9.0$
I tried pointing libgeotiff at the version I had from
libgeotiff-dev, /usr/lib/libgeotiff.so, and the version I had from
libgeotiff2, /usr/lib/libgeotiff.so.2, but both resulted in the same
failure:
jason at rooibos:~/tmp/mrsid/libgdal-mrsid-1.9.0$ ./configure
--with-gdal=/usr/bin/gdal-config

jason at rooibos:~/tmp/mrsid/libgdal-mrsid-1.9.0$
Then I searched for any other packages with libgeotiff in the name
and installed libgeotiff-epsg which doesn't seem to be a library at all
but a bunch of csv files instead.
Any ideas?
Jason
