Even,
Thanks a lot for your answer. It's unfortunate that binaries of FWTools
Linux had been discontinued. I actually thought that compiling for
win was much harder.
The wine alternative is a solution, but would like to consider compiling
myself. If I compile GDAL, would the rest of components in my current
FWTools make use of the newer version or should I compile every component?

Agustin,
I think you need to upgrade to GDAL 1.5.3 because you're probably hitting the
following issue : http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/2437
As FWTools Linux 2.0.6 was released in February 2008 and the ticket solved in
June, it is not recent enough. The relatively bad news for you is that the
production of newer releases of FWTools Linux is currently discontinued. So
for the moment, you have to compile GDAL from source by yourself.
I don't think that Ubuntu or most Linux distributions will provide some day
support out of the box for MrSID and ECW because of the licencing issues.
Another way is to use FWTools for Windows under Wine. Download the installer,
execute wine on it. Once installed, cd to ~/.wine/drive_c/Program
Files/FWTools2.2.8 for example.
Due to a imperfect simulation of DOS shell by wine, you just have to make a
minor modification to bin/setfwenv.bat to add "set " at the beginning of the
line PATH=%FWTOOLS_DIR%\bin;%FWTOOLS_DIR%\python;%PATH%.
Then launch "wine cmd.exe" and then type "setfw.bat", and GDAL command line
utilities should work. That way you get MrSID and ECW support...
Best regards,
Even

Thanks for your fast answer.
I'm using a quite new version:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ gdalinfo --version
GDAL 1.5.1, released 2008/03/14
I'm going to get the newest, and will let you know.
Is there a particular binary for ubuntu with
support for MrSid and ECW? or do you advice me to
compile?

I've also tried renaming PIR_MVC_EUROM_0112_2000.bsq

The size of the file is 6005188800 bytes, could this be the problem?
I do not have this problem with other, smaller files.
(I'm using ubuntu 8.04 and the file is on a NTFS partition)
Dr. Lobo,
I looked at the current code and it appears that large files should
work fine. However, there has been significant work on the ENVI
driver over the last couple years. What version of GDAL are you using?
This can be determined with the "gdalinfo --version" command.
It may be that you need to upgrade.
Best regards,
