                  <br>
                  Thanks for looking.<br>
                  <br>
                  In QGIS I open up the Custom CRS definition dialog<br>
                  <br>
                  Copy and paste a proj4 parameter line starting with
                  +proj=  into the<br>
                  Paremeters box<br>
                  <br>
                  Copy and paste the Name into the name box.<br>
                  <br>
                  Hit the little folder icon.<br>
                  <br>
                  Nothing happens.  The number below the parameter line
                  doesn't increment.<br>
                  <br>
                  Hit OK and the custom CRS isn't added to the
                  database.  Could my database<br>
                  be unavailable somehow?<br>
                  <br>
                  If I take a known, valid proj4 parameter line that
                  QGIS has in it's<br>
                  database, it it won't add it either (I miswrote this
                  below)<br>
                  <br>
                  I played around some more, and the test dialog WILL
                  accept the custom<br>
                  parameter lines, and does say they are valid, I just
                  can't get my database<br>
                  to recognize them.<br>
                  <br>
                  I remember the database dialog box when I first
                  installed QGIS, I think I<br>
                  just took the defaults, in the DB manager it shows a
                  SpatialLite entry,<br>
                  but there's a flashing alert in the bottom of the
                  window that says<br>
                  "postgis No module named psycopg2"<br>
                  <br>
                  If I highlight 'SpatialLite" and click the SQL window
                  icon, I get an error<br>
                  that says 'no database selected or you are not
                  connected to it'.  I'm not<br>
                  sure I have the necessary SQL programs installed.  in
                  Synaptic I have some<br>
                  sql packages, client libraries, shared libraries,
                  python extensions.  Do I<br>
                  need a specific core SQL package to get the database
                  in QGIS to be<br>
                  accessible?<br>
                  <br>
                  In synaptic I tried to install python-psycopg2 and I
                  got a warning that it<br>
                  could not be authenticated and malicious control etc
                  etc etc,  should I<br>
                  install it anyway?<br>
                  <br>
