[gdal-dev] No PROJ.4 translation for source SRS

[Smart, Gary]

I still can't get to the bottom of this message - can anyone explain
it...

 

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

 

I'm trying to convert the native coordinates in a file into WGS84
lat/longs.  

However, when I create the OGRCoordinateTransformation (using the
importFromWkt for input source and setWellKnownGeogCS("WGS84") for
output) I get the above PROG.4 error.  

 

NOTE - if I use the proj.4 library directly, it seems possible to
convert coords (e.g. converting WGS84 UTM  to WGS84 LatLong):

Proj4 code is something like...

projIn = pj_init_plus("+prof=utm +north +ellps=WGS84");

projOut = pj_init_plus("+prof=latlong +ellps=WGS84");

pj_transform(projIn, projOut, blah blah);

 

NOTE also that an old openEv executable I have, seems to be able to
georeference these files fine.

 

I am using Linux SLES10 SP2, gdal-svn-trunk-2009.12.14 and
proj4-4.7.0-1.

 

Any help welcome

Gary
