  I had an old version of gdal installed and just upgraded that to version
2.1.1; still no MrSid support. In the gdal wiki I found this information:

"MrSID driver needs LizardTech decoding software development kit (DSDK). It
is not free software, but you can download it without charge at
https://www.lizardtech.com/developer/ (you will have to register first). To
enable file creation capability you need encoding SDK (ESDK). You should
contact LizardTech to obtain it."

  For a single DRG it's not worth the hassle.

Daniel,

  Now that is really interesting. Running 'gdalinfo --formats' produces a
list that does not include MrSid, which explains why grass did not want to
import the .sid file. Time to recompile gdal.

Thanks for the information,

Rich

   However, I'm not finding the correct file at which to point grass.
r.in.gdal fails because it cannot find any bands. My web searches on how to
import a MrSID file all point me to the r.in.gdal manual page and no example
there seems to apply to the files I have.

Suggestions?

 Which file should I use to inform the grass GIS of the MrSID projection?


  Never mind. I looked up the EPSG code and entered that directly.
