Cho,

OGR error 6 is OGRERR_FAILURE, a rather generic code.

I suspect the EPSG csv files aren't being found.  You might
try setting the GDAL_DATA environment variable to point to the
gdal/data directory or possibly just before calling importFromEPSG(),
call:

  GDALSetConfigOption( "GDAL_DATA", "C:\\gdal\\data" );

(well with the appropriate path of course).

Best regards,
