[gdal-dev] Shapefile to Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area

[Ed McNierney]

Kent -

The obvious question would be, "And do you think code 9820 actually exists in your EPSG file?".  There is no such projection code in my EPSG table from PROJ.

What projection definition do you think EPSG:9820 describes?

Any idea why I cannot convert a shapefile to the Lambert azimuthal equal area 
projection? I tried

ogr2ogr -t_srs EPSG:9820 -f "ESRI Shapefile" destination.shp source.shp

and saw the message

ERROR 6:
EPSG PCS/GCS code 9820 not found in EPSG support files.  Is this a valid
EPSG coordinate system?
Failed to process SRS definition: EPSG:9820

I'm using GDAL 1.4.2 on Fedora core 6.

TIA!
