There isn't - Mr Sid and ECW are proprietary image formats. If you are
on a windows machine they get a separate library/file/gdal type plugin
and if you are on a linux machine your just crap outta luck. I've
actually been playing around with building sid support into gdal (which
is another long story).
The best you can do is to decompress the image using the Sid decoder
(downloaded from Lizardtech). Just hope you don't have an overly
compressed sid image that blows up to 160GB on decompression.
The next best thing we could do is figure out some way to get this back
into linux. If I had the coding chops I would do it...since I'm diving
into fantasy currently I would also date Jennifer Lawrence.

Hello,
I am using Fedora 19 on a 32 bit machine. I had installed QGIS 1.8 and
the GDAL packages, but was not able to use .sid rasters from the
geospatial gateway that the feds run. I was getting an error message
saying that it was not a supported raster source when I tried to load
the file. Is there perhaps an additional package that's not obvious to
a newb that would help with support for MrSID in Fedora?
