Hi,</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; color:rgb(0,0,0)">

<div style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; color:rgb(0,0,0)">
I've been having a problem using gdal to simply read/report EPSG headers on rasters. I am trying to use it to verify header projection information is correct.</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; color:rgb(0,0,0)">
First, I am using Windows 10.</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; color:rgb(0,0,0)">
Rasters are Imagine .IMG format.</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; color:rgb(0,0,0)">
Command being used is gdalsrsinfo -e {filename}</div>
<br>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; color:rgb(0,0,0)">
I've tried gdal from various sources/vintages... the problem is I can only get it to report the proper (expected) EPSG on 2 of 6 computers... even if I take special care to follow same steps each time. I am also using the SAME EXACT image file each time.<br>
</div>

<div style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12pt">The projection is NAD83(2011) / UTM zone 14N.</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12pt">So I expect to see EPSG:6343</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12pt"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12pt">I'm often getting EPSG:26914</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12pt">This is NAD83 / UTM zone 14N (NOT 2011)</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12pt"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12pt">Or I get EPSG: -1</div>

The gdal install that works as expected on 2 of 6 computers is the version that installs on Windows along with OSgeo4w. (GDAL 2.4.1 as reported by "gdalsrsinfo --version" command)</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; color:rgb(0,0,0)">
<br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; color:rgb(0,0,0)">
It only works if I run the gdalsrsinfo command from the C:\OSgeo4w\bin folder.... If I run from anywhere else I get the other results mentioned.</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; color:rgb(0,0,0)">
Also, I've installed the same OSgeo4w on all 6 machines... and it only works on two.</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; color:rgb(0,0,0)">

</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; color:rgb(0,0,0)">
Other GDAL binaries for Windows I got from the gisinternals website... I've tried multiple versions (2.4.1, 2.4.2, 3.0....) and I'm running through the command shell provided with that distribution.... All getting different results (sometimes -1 sometimes
26914) but I simply can't find any consistency of WHY it is working sometimes and not others.</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; color:rgb(0,0,0)">
<br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; color:rgb(0,0,0)">
One concern I have is that perhaps since GDAL is packaged with SO MANY programs (ESRI, Qgis, Global Mapper, etc.) that perhaps the command is calling incorrect libraries?<br>
</div>

<br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; color:rgb(0,0,0)">
Please... if anyone has ideas on WHY this is happening, or how to force the command to run from a a CLEAN environment only using the libraries I desire, I welcome input.</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; color:rgb(0,0,0)">
Sincerely,</div>
