It was looking for a file in a subdirectory that existed a level down so I made a symlink to try and work around that and the second attempt made it much further before bombing out.

Wendell,

Here is a solution in order to be able to use MrSid within FGS as long 
as you are aware of the license terms.

I attached two object files and a shell script.  Extract it under 
$FGS_HOME/lib.  Download Geo_DSDK-7.0.0.2167.linux.x86.gcc41.tar.gz at 
your prefer location and run "sh mrsid_ld.sh" in $FGS_HOME/lib.

It should work without to download the FGS 9.5 VM.
