I've just submitted a PR <a href="https://github.com/OSGeo/proj.4/pull/1218" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/OSGeo/proj.4/pull/1218</a> to add a<br>
<br>
proj_context_set_search_paths(<br>
PJ_CONTEXT *ctx, int count_paths,const char* const* paths)<br>
<br>
If called on the default PROJ context (NULL) before GDAL creates it own <br>
contexts, this should allow you to specify your own search path.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Or I could call pj_set_searchpath?</div><div><br></div><div>I'm a little concerned about the need to race GDAL to the default context. I'm not sure how I'll be able to do this in practice. Even if Rasterio were to call pj_set_searchpath immediately on import, which I'd like to avoid for a number of reasons, any user who imported a different module that loads GDAL (osgeo.gdal, for example) before importing Rasterio would lose that insurance and may experience some trouble that is hard to diagnose. Could a GDAL API function that allowed modification of the search path in GDAL's own context help? </div><div><br></div></div>-- <br><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr">Sean Gillies</div></div></div>
