[Geoserver-users] MrSID Data Store Geoserver 2.2 on Ubuntu 12.04 64

Hello List,

I spent a few hours yesterday attempting to get this working with no success. I do believe this is due to my inability to get the MrSID plugin working with GDAL. I have followed this tutorial http://trac.osgeo.org/ubuntugis/wiki/TutorialMrSid but when building the plugin using:

sudo gdal-mrsid-build $HOME/Geo_DSDK-7.0.0.2167

It errors out with the following:

“checking for XTIFFClientOpen in -lgeotiff… no
configure: error: libgeotiff is required to build GDAL MrSID driver”

Anyway perhaps this is a question for GDAL but am I correct in guessing that the datastore is not appearing (other gdal data stores are) because the gdal MrSID plugin is not installing correctly.

I am curious if anyone has successfully implemented a MrSid data store to Geoserver 2.2 on Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit? If so is there any tutorial you followed or any tips you could send my way?

Thanks in advance, Apologize ahead of time if this is the wrong list to ask.
