Frank & Martian <br><br>Thanks for your prompt replies.<br><br>If I know the coordinate system the file is supposed to be, is there a way I can inject that into the file it's self ? Without needing to edit the code or setting the GDAL_DATA environment variable ? The file is a GeoTiff ? I'd provide a sample but the file is 100+ M could take a bit. <br>

Good Day list.<br>
<br>
I write you with kind of an urgent problem today. The company I am doing some consulting for is using GDAL to read a majority of their data. They just purchased 800$ worth of some GeoData from a third party company. Everytime we try an dopen the data through Gdal I get. A problem with trying to create a Coordinate Transform. See error<br>
<br>
ERROR: No PROJ.4 translation for source SRS, coordinate<br>
<br>
When I did a Gdal Info on the file. I find this information out<br>
<br>
Coordinate System is:<br>
PROJCS[,<br>
GEOGCS["unnamed",<br>
DATUM["unknown",<br>
SPHEROID["unretrievable - using WGS84",6378137,298.257223563]],<br>
PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],<br>
UNIT[,0.0174532925199433]],<br>
UNIT["unknown",1],<br>
AUTHORITY["EPSG","0"]]<br>
<br>
<br>
Which I think is the root of my problem. Is ther ea good/easy way for me to fix this ? quickly ?<br>

I *suspect* GDAL is failing to find it's supporting coordinate system<br>
files. Try setting the GDAL_DATA environment variable to point to the<br>
directory with the files like pcs.csv and ecw_cs.wkt.<br>
<br>
It would also be helpful if you were able to indicate the file format<br>
with the problem, the version of GDAL, and ideally a sample file.<br>
