I've been able to revert back to Wroclaw from the newer trunk. I fixed the issues I was having there.
That said, I have still been unable to get the MrSID issue fixed. GDAL shows that it has MrSID support. I get an unsupported format error when trying to add a .sid raster to qgis. Going to help - about in QGIS shows me it is currently using GDAL 1.8. -- all the best, Lee On Thu, Sep 8, 2011 at 2:24 PM, Lee <[email protected]> wrote: > Due to the above error, I cannot follow the guide as instructed.
