[gdal-dev] ogr2ogr ERROR 6: No translation

[Jason Mathis]

Hi All,

On to the next problem:) I discovered today that I need to reproject the shape file before rasterizing it. I get the below error. 

Any ideas? Is it not possible? 

Thanks!

palos:noharm jmathis$ ogr2ogr -t_srs prj2.txt output.shp  source.shp
