<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I built GDAL 2.3.1 library from source on Windows successfully. To test the library out, I tried running “gdalinfo” on a GeoTIFF file, and it reported the following error…<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“ERROR 4: Unable to open EPSG support file gcs.csv. Try setting the GDAL_DATA environment variable to point to the directory containing EPSG csv files.” The info for the SRS doesn’t print.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I set the GDAL_DATA and the error goes away but I don’t want to be dependent upon this setting. In previous binary versions of GDAL, I didn’t need to set GDAL_DATA variable in order for gdalinfo to read and print out the SRS. Obviously
I’m missing something or some dependency with the library build?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Can anyone shed light on what is going on or what I need to do to get the GDAL library to read the SRS without the need for the GDAL_DATA environment variable?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks.<o:p></o:p></p>
