Re: [gdal-dev] Problem with GDAL data folder in 1.9

Hi Etienne,

OK, let's keep the focus on 1.9. I did what you said:

>  Can you try using 'gdalsrsinfo EPSG:26943' with gdal 1.9 and
>  associated data dir?

And I got the same result from gdalsrsinfo as you did (using only 1.9) but I still getting a different result from gdalinfo with a image that clearly has that same EPSG code as we could see by the listgeo.

Coordinate System is:
PROJCS["NAD_1983_StatePlane_California_III_FIPS_0403",
    GEOGCS["GCS_North_American_1983",

        UNIT["Degree",0.0174532925199432955]],

It seems to me that the GTIFF driver tries to interprets the WKT instead of just pass it on. Is that right? It doesn't seems to be doing it right.

Thanks,
