[gdal-dev] Confused about coordinate transformations

[dev4cx4m9z at snkmail.com]

I have a GIS database with all coordinates stored in WGS84 datum. I am
trying to translate the coordinates of the database to the datum of my map.
I am creating two OGRSpatialReference, one for WGS84 and one for the current
map. I am then creating an OGRCoordinateTransformation. When I do so I get a
PROJ.4 error - "No PROJ.4 translation for destination SRS, coordinate
transformation initialisation has failed"

 

Question - Do I HAVE to use PROJ.4 to do the translation? Can I not just
load the SRS with a WKT? I wish to avoid PROJ.4 as I'm unsure how to build
it.
