[Gdal-dev] GeoTiff projection/transformation problem

[Petteri Packalen]

Dear Frank,

I built snapshot cvs-030217 and now GeoTransform info is written to the
output file properly. However, projection is not written to the output
file and during the execution of GDALAllRegister() arise an error 'ERROR
1: Can't find requested entry point: CellLayerClose'.
