Hi,
Thx for your reply. I'm not entirely sure what you mean about access to the proj and epsg libraries. proj does seem to be a command that can be run from any cmd window.
I have checked for the existence of pcs.csv and there seem to be numerous versions (also pcs.override.csv) in various locations, including my FWTools2.0.4\data; under my GRASS6.4 installation folders and under ArcGIS installation folders. I have tried running the gdalinfo commands both with a GDAL_DATA environment variable (pointing to FWTools2.0.4\data) and without this env variable but it didn't seem to make any difference.
What proj and epsg libraries are used by gdal and where should they be?
Thanks,
Anne

Hi,
are you sure that the same libraries (proj, epsg et. al.) are available
under both cirumstances? Do you have access to proj and epsg codes in
plain cmd?
That's where I would start to investigate ...
btw. I think the osgeo4w package is more recent than the fwtools build,
so might also have a look at that one
