I am trying to translate the coordinates of the database to the datum of my map. I am creating two OGRSpatialReference, one for WGS84 and one for the current map. I am then creating an OGRCoordinateTransformation. When I do so I get a PROJ.4 error – “No PROJ.4 translation for destination SRS, coordinate transformation initialisation has failed”<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'>Question – Do I HAVE to use PROJ.4 to do the translation?
