[gdal-dev] can't fetch the projection definition string on Linux

[Daniel Testa]

Hello everyone, I´m experiencing a weird behavior when reading a raster
image (GTiff/GeoTIFF)

I'm using GDAL 1.9.1 for Linux (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS) and Windows (Win 7
Ultimate SP1) to open a raster image with EPSG:22194

Sample output from gdalinfo for that image on Windows (WKT):
[...]
PROJCS["Campo Inchauspe / Argentina 4",
    GEOGCS["Campo Inchauspe",
        DATUM["Campo_Inchauspe",
            SPHEROID["International 1924",6378388,297.000000000005,
                AUTHORITY["EPSG","7022"]],
            AUTHORITY["EPSG","6221"]],
        PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],
        UNIT["degree",0.0174532925199433],
        AUTHORITY["EPSG","4221"]],
    PROJECTION["Transverse_Mercator"],
    PARAMETER["latitude_of_origin",-90],
    PARAMETER["central_meridian",-63],
    PARAMETER["scale_factor",1],
    PARAMETER["false_easting",4500000],
    PARAMETER["false_northing",0],
    UNIT["metre",1,
        AUTHORITY["EPSG","9001"]],
    AUTHORITY["EPSG","22194"]]
[...]

Now the output from gdalinfo for the same image on Linux (WKT):
[...]
LOCAL_CS["Campo Inchauspe / Argentina 4",
    GEOGCS["Campo Inchauspe",
        DATUM["unknown",
            SPHEROID["unretrievable - using WGS84",6378137,298.257223563]],
        PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],
        UNIT["degree",0.0174532925199433]],
        AUTHORITY["EPSG","22194"],
    UNIT["metre",1]]
[...]

Any idea of why this might be happening? it also happens with EPSG:22184

Any idea, suggestion or comment is very welcome :)

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Daniel.
