[GRASS5] [bug #4190] (grass) Could not import a NB Double Ste reographic shapefile - used EPSG #2036

[Patton, Eric]

Here's the output from ogrinfo on my shapefile:

ogrinfo 45256600_h_r.shp
INFO: Open of `45256600_h_r.shp'
using driver `ESRI Shapefile' successful.
1: 45256600_h_r (Polygon)

Hm, no projection info, coordinate system, nothing. But the prj is in the
same directory as the shapefile.

Maybe the problem lies in the shapefile and associated files (?)

what happens if you try looking at it with 'ogrinfo' ?

also, maybe quicker for you, the above can just be:
v.in.ogr dsn=directory/file.shp out=map  # and no layer=
