[Qgis-user] CRS being read differently by 1.8 on different OS

[Etienne Tourigny]

The difference is *probably* due to differences in gdal and/or PROJ.4
versions in the two environments.
You can check that out with running 'gdalinfo <file>' or 'gdalsrsinfo
<file>' on both enviromnents.

Could you post a link to the file (ideally a subset of it)?

Shapefile CRS recognition has suffered from many problems in the past
(which should be fixed in 1.8), but I haven't seen this kind of
problem with raster data.
