Gavin,

This problem really does sound like some supporting data files not being
found.  For GeoTIFF it can also be important that the GeoTIFF csv files
be findable.  They are usually in /usr/local/share/epsg_csv and can be
placed elsewhere as long as the GEOTIFF_CSV environment points to them.

Also, in some cases GDAL will fallback to using the PROJ.4 init files
for definitions, found via the PROJ_LIB environment variable if they are
not in /usr/local/share/proj.

Best regards,
</PRE>

libgeotiff was not installed (no epsg_csv) so I installed it and set<BR>
<BR>
GEOTIFF_CSV=/usr/share/epsg_csv<BR>
<BR>
proj init files are in place:<BR>
<BR>
ls /usr/local/share/proj<BR>

<BR>
but still I get the same result.<BR>
<BR>
and am still getting a bunch of these warnings:<BR>
