[Liblas-devel] can't detect projection

[Peter Tittmann]

Thanks Mateusz,

The following describes the current GDAL_DATA environment on the Debian machine (which can’t detect the CRS). Would there be another source for the data directory I should set?

$ gdal-config --datadir
/usr/share/gdal/2.1

and 

$ ls -lrt /usr/share/gdal/2.1/
total 2704
