<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> While doing some work trying to create
the coordinate system definitions for MapInfo's TAB file (yuck!), I noticed that
some interpretation of ERMapper's ECW coordinate systems has been done
about a year ago. Due to the current path searching setup for GDAL, it
will only work if the translation file (ecw_cs.dat) is in
"/usr/local/share/gdal" or the current working directory.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I made a small change to my local copy
of cpl_findfile.cpp to include the place where the PROJ data files are kept
(defined by the PROJ_LIB environment variable); at line 74:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>
CPLPushFinderLocation( "." );<BR>
CPLPushFinderLocation( CPLGetConfigOption("PROJ_LIB","/proj/nad")
);<BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> But perhaps it should also include the
directory of the executable (or a "data" subdir)? Your
thoughts?</FONT></DIV>
