[Liblas-devel] libgeotiff / cpl / libspatialreference.hpp changes

[Julien Malik]

Hello,

I encountered this bug, as did a lot of OrfeoToolbox users since we 
updated to liblas 1.6.0b2.
It affects at least Ubuntu 10.04, 10.10, OpenSuse 11.2, 11.3 and OpenBSD 
4.8+
I personnally use ubuntu 10.10 with gdal/geotiff from ubuntugis/unstable 
repo, which gives me recent versions (gdal 1.7.2 and geotiff 1.2.5), and 
it still does not work.

So currently, gdal/geotiff support in liblas seems broken. I tested with 
yesterday's trunk.

Just wanted to know if this problem will be addressed before the next 
release ?
Or you will rely on the end-user to hand-modify a geotiff header (which 
he may not have access to) ?

Best regards,
Julien
