[Gdal-dev] gdalwarp, proj4 and Space Oblique Mercator problem

Dear all,

I'm trying to re-project a USGS Landsat 5 scene with Space Oblique Mercator
projection with the following command:

gdalwarp -s_srs  '+proj=lsat +lsat=5 +path=188'  -t_srs EPSG:2393 input.tif
output.tif
 
For some reason this fails:

ERROR 1: Translating source or target SRS failed:
+proj=lsat +lsat=5 +path=188

even though my proj -lp lists the lsat projection and the parametrization
seems appropriate to me (see below).

Any idea what's wrong and how could I solve this? 

Cheers,

ilumas

landsat C E S I 
+proj=lsat
+lsat=n
+path=p

This projection (not shown) is for use with landsat
satellite data and is a limited form of the more general
Space Oblique Mercator projection. The landsat satellite
number, n, must be in the range 1–5 and the path
number, p, must be in the ranges 1–251 for n = 1, 2, 3 or
1–233 for n = 3, 4.
