[Qgis-user] mrsid qgis 2.8 and ubuntu 14.04
Hi all, I'm trying to find some updated instructions for adding MrSid support for QGIS 2.8 on Ubuntu 14.04. I started following the instructions from here: https://trac.osgeo.org/ubuntugis/wiki/TutorialMrSid However, I'm hung up on the instructions where you do the build. I downloaded the following mrsid sdk from Lizardtech and extracted it. MrSID_DSDK-9.1.0.4045-linux.x86-64.gcc44.tar.gz The readme specifically says no real installation is necessary Can someone point me to some updated instructions on how to get mrsid support in QGIS 2.8? Thanks! Chris ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
Re: [Qgis-user] mrsid qgis 2.8 and ubuntu 14.04
Chris, I am not an expert but I think that those instructions do not work because the plugin libgdal-mrsid-src is no longer in the repository. Have you looked at these instructions from a couple years ago? http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/MrSID-raster-and-QGIS-in-linux-td5090885.html I never got around to trying it since I dont use mrsid images very often and when I do I just do it on my windows machine, but the instructions are more up to date and dont rely on the plugin.

So there was a thread on this back in February - I keep up with this because I also would like the functionality - I've just failed in trying to get it to work. Most likely skill issues on my part. Thread here: http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/gdal-dev/2015-February/041128.html Good Luck - Randy On 06/26/2015 01:58 PM, Chris House wrote: i did try both of the build methods and neither worked.

I've had great success with ECW files but unsure as to how they are created. In Manifold one can link to them rather than load them into the Project file. Very fast. Cheers . . . . .
