mrsidgeodecode on Ubuntu

[skywatcher]

Please could someone point me in the right direction for using mrsidgeodecode on Ubuntu 10.10. I was not sure how to install mrsidgeodecode, so I simply unpacked it in a folder in my home directory. From the command line I tried this with the 64-bit version:

Code: Select all

./mrsidgeodecode -i input.sid -o output.tif -of tifg

This gave an error message:

./mrsidgeodecode: cannot execute binary file

.

I then tried the same command with the 32-bit version, and got this error:

./mrsidgeodecode: error while loading shared libraries: libgeos.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

.

In the above command the file

input.sid

was placed in the same folder as the mrsidgeodecode executable.
