[gdal-dev] Converting raster pixel space to geospace

[Smart, Gary]

Thanks Martin, but now to the next problem...

 

I downloaded PRROJ.4 which seemed to configure and compile OK.

Having set the PROJ_LIB as you proposed, I now get:

 

ERROR 1: No PROJ.4 translation for source SRS, coordinate transformation initialization has failed.

 

I guess I am still missing comething.  The failure came from the same geotiff file as below.

 

I also couldn't find a 'data dir' in the GDAL source and therefore GDAL_DATA env var remained unset.  We installed everything from the FWTools download for our Linux SUSE10 system.  Should there be a 'data' directory under the FWTools directory somewhere?  There is no GDAL source in this directory - just include files and libraries.  I presumed this was all that was needed to use GDAL?

Gary,

 

Set your paths like such on startup or as an environment variable:

 

GDAL_DATA points at the data dir that comes with gdal source.

PROJ_LIB point to the nad directory that you download from proj4 website.

 

string env = string("GDAL_DATA=") + dataPath;

_putenv(env.c_str());

env = string("PROJ_LIB=") + nadPath;

_putenv(env.c_str());

 

and / or

 

CPLSetConfigOption("GDAL_DATA", dataPath.c_str());

CPLSetConfigOption("PROJ_LIB", nadPath.c_str());

 

Martin

OK - I can get it to compile and not crash instantly (bonanza!)

 

However, when I try to create the OGR transform using importFromWkt, 

I get the following:

 

ERROR 6: Unable to load PROJ.4 library (libproj.so), creation of

OGRCoordinateTransformation failed.

 

Does anyone know what this means?  Is there some part of OGR/GDAL I have yet to install?

 

My input projection is:

GTiff/GeoTIFF Projection PROJCS["TM          D-01",GEOGCS["NAD27",DATUM["North_American_Datum_1927",SPHEROID["Clarke 1866",6378206.4,294.9786982139006,AUTHORITY["EPSG","7008"]],AUTHORITY["EPSG","6267"]],PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],UNIT["degree",0.0174532925199433],AUTHORITY["EPSG","4267"]],PROJECTION["Transverse_Mercator"],PARAMETER["latitude_of_origin",0],PARAMETER["central_meridian",-124.5],PARAMETER["scale_factor",1],PARAMETER["false_easting",0],PARAMETER["false_northing",0],UNIT["metre",1,AUTHORITY["EPSG","9001"]]]

 

...and I am looking to output WGS84 lat/longs.
