Chris, I am not an expert but I think that those instructions do not work because the plugin "libgdal-mrsid-src" is no longer in the repository. Have you looked at these instructions from a couple years ago? http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/MrSID-raster-and-QGIS-in-linux-td5090885.html
I never got around to trying it since I dont use mrsid images very often and when I do I just do it on my windows machine, but the instructions are more up to date and dont rely on the plugin.
