[gdal-dev] Re: C GDAL beginner

[deadpickle]

Thanks for the replies. Just as a note, the warnings are caused by the
variable being a const. Omitting the const solved it.
I'm not sure if this is a C program or a GDAL thing, thats why I'm not
sure where to post this at, but I get a segfault. I know segfaults are
generally caused by ordinary, and sometimes strange, syntax but it
involves a GDAL C API call, so I'll post it here. Basically, from what
I understand from printing, the esgfault is caused by
OSRSetFromUserInput(source, sprj);
where char *source;
 OSRNewSpatialReference(source);
 and const char *sprj = "+proj=lcc +lat_1=33.000000 +lat_2=45.000000
+lat_0=39.000000 +lon_0=-96.000000 +x_0=0.0 +y_0=0.0 +datum=NAD83";.
 what I'm wondering is if I'm calling these correctly? Is the proj4
string right? If they are then I'll redirect my questions else where.
Thanks.
