gdal_translate

[francesco tartaglia]

Hi all.
Hi have to convert a Mrsid to tiff, so I use gdal_transalte tools.

I enter this command in bin_safe directory:
gdal_translate -of GTiff /home/frenk/Documenti/Ortofotoa/348030e.sid /home/frenk/Documenti/Ortofotoa/348030e.tif


The output is

ERROR 4: `/home/frenk/Documenti/Ortofotoa/348030e.sid' does not exist in the file system,
and is not recognised as a supported dataset name.

GDALOpen failed - 4
`/home/frenk/Documenti/Ortofotoa/348030e.sid' does not exist in the file system,
and is not recognised as a supported dataset name.


Where is the error?

thanks to all
best regards
f.t.

f.t.,

Is the .sid larger than 2GB?   Is it on a local file system?

I vaguely recall issues with large files on some filesystems in FWTools for
linux which I thought got fixed in the last FWTools release but I'm not sure.
If the file is not on a local filesystem, try moving it to one and trying
again.

Otherwise, you might try building GDAL with the MrSID SDK from source (well
the GDAL part from source at least) and see if that works.  Or alternatively
move the file to windows to translate.

Best regards,
