I absolutely disagree. I'm not the question, I can compile (provided
the appropriate directions are there). The problem is that if my 30 students twice a year have to
compile or, worse, have to hire someone to do it in order to
be able to use mrsid/ecw, they will just keep using windows. Or not using qgis.

Linux cannot be a system for which you have to either become
able of compiling QGIS or hire someone to do it. If this were the case,
binaries should not be distributed.

ECW is easy to compile on Linux. I never tried to compile MrSid.

MrSid seems to becoming the standard format for government raster data
here, so I self compile. Compiling on Ubuntu with MrSid libs is no big
deal and the performance of the MrSid SDK is excellent, in my
experience. Those that need ECW and MrSid and feel strongly against
compiling themselves, should hire someone to do it for them.
