[gdal-dev] Urgent GDal failing to open a file.

[Martin Chapman]

If you have control of the code then you could set the projection after the open by calling setProjectionRef()..  Just ignore the error if the gdaldataset pointer is not null.

Hope that helps.

Good Day list. 

I write you with kind of an urgent problem today. The company I am doing some consulting for is using GDAL to read a majority of their data. They just purchased 800$ worth of some GeoData from a third party company. Everytime we try an dopen the data through Gdal I get. A problem with trying to create a Coordinate Transform. See error
 
ERROR: No PROJ.4 translation for source SRS, coordinate

When I did a Gdal Info on the file. I find this information out

Coordinate System is:
PROJCS[,
    GEOGCS["unnamed",
        DATUM["unknown",
             SPHEROID["unretrievable - using WGS84",6378137,298.257223563]],
        PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],
        UNIT[,0.0174532925199433]],
    UNIT["unknown",1],
    AUTHORITY["EPSG","0"]]
 

Which I think is the root of my problem. Is ther ea good/easy way for me to fix this ? quickly ? 

Thanks Court.
