[gdal-dev] gdalwarp error 6 issues

[Zoltan Szecsei]

Hi Even,
Long time no chat - Hope all is well with you. :-)

When compiling GDAL, I just used all defaults, so it was just a 
"straight" ./configure.

The errant images are ENU on WGS84 Lo17 and Lo21, and I need to 
reproject to same but Lo19
(They are on the fringes of Lo19)

I tried gdal_edit.py to force a better representation of where those 
images are, but no luck.
I used variations of the s-srs line below (ie: replacing HBK94 with 
WGS84) and also 1 or 2 EPSG codes - but I was guessing the EPSG ones.

Is there not a way to stamp out the existing proj info, and replace with 
the desired source projection stanza using gdal_edit.py?

I've got a batch run in at the moment so don't want to fiddle until that 
has finished.
I will also recompile with --with-static-proj4.

Thanks for the pointers.
Regards,
Zoltan
