[Fwd: Re: [gdal-dev] GDAL Python bindings: coordinate transformation does not work]

[Klaus Noekel]

A further test revealed that the PROJ.4 DLL was missing on my system. 
After downloading the current version included in OSGeo4W, and putting 
it in the gdalwin32-1.6\bin directory, I now get the correct results.

Thanks a lot, Howard!

Klaus,

I get the following for output on my OSX box:

I suspect the TransformTo is failing because the GDAL_DATA are not
being found.
