QGIS 1.7 in 10.04 Lucid MrSid ... (AGAIN AGAIN)

[BigBaka]

It what appears to be a continuing state of deja vu, I'm once again posting a request for assistance in getting Mr Sid files working in QGIS, albeit with updated versions of the same program...

This morning QGIS updated to version 1.7.0 on Lucid LTS. Although I could never get Mr Sid files up and running on my previous version update I thought this might be a timely reminder to revisit the question.

If anyone is able to get Mr Sid files running on QGIS 1.7 in Ubuntu, please post your solution here.

My attempts using the GDAL build 1.8 are recorded below.

jvc@CF1:~$ sudo gdal-mrsid-build $HOME/Raster_DSDK

Hello....

Still no ideas anyone?

[comeisl]

Same problem with Ubuntu 11.04, and Lizardtech-DSDK 8.0. mistake seems to be on Raster and Lidar structure, is not recongnized by gdal on building. I've checked the gcc 3.4 and 4.1 without success.

If somebody has any idea...
