Hi Agustin, nope, no answer. Actually my very disappointing workaround was, to install VirtualBox and Windows on it and run QGIS from there. On native Linux, i only use the debian-nightly master for playing around (or better: watching it crash). Cheers Bernd Am 23.05.2013, 08:35 Uhr,

Really sad. Is the problem with Mrsid the only reason why you have had to take the VirtualBox solution? Crashes of debian-nightly master are to be expected, though. So, we should all understand that the only way to use Mrsid on linux qgis is and will be that the user compiles gdal with that

The UbuntuGIS repository only has libgdal-mrsid package for Ubuntu Lucid and Oneiric. There's a new Ubuntu distro just around the corner (12.10), but still no signs of libgdal-mrsid for Ubuntu Precise. So I was wondering if there's a work around to open MrSID images in QGIS 1.8 on a Ubuntu 12.04

see the text in bold at http://gdal.org/frmt_mrsid.html I believe he is referring to the lack of the libgdal-mrsid package, available for older Ubuntu releases in the ubuntugis repository. Cheers -- Giovanni -- ___ Qgis-user mailing list
