[GRASS-dev] ETRS_1989_LAEA issue

[Markus Neteler]

Hi,

I tried to create a new location from the CLC2000 data from
EEA, distributed on DVD. The SHAPE file comes with a .proj file:

ogrinfo -so 100kmE58N17.shp 100kmE58N17
INFO: Open of `100kmE58N17.shp'
      using driver `ESRI Shapefile' successful.

Layer name: 100kmE58N17
Geometry: Polygon
Feature Count: 392
Extent: (5800000.000180, 1699999.999117) - (5867022.238090, 1799999.999127)
Layer SRS WKT:
PROJCS["ETRS_1989_LAEA",
    GEOGCS["GCS_ETRS_1989",
        DATUM["ETRS_1989",
            SPHEROID["GRS_1980",6378137.0,298.257222101]],
        PRIMEM["Greenwich",0.0],
        UNIT["Degree",0.0174532925199433]],
    PROJECTION["Lambert_Azimuthal_Equal_Area"],
    PARAMETER["False_Easting",4321000.0],
    PARAMETER["False_Northing",3210000.0],
    PARAMETER["Central_Meridian",10.0],
    PARAMETER["Latitude_Of_Origin",52.0],
    UNIT["Meter",1.0]]
CODE_00: String (3.0)
AREA_HA: Real (17.5)
SHAPE_area: Real (19.11)
SHAPE_len: Real (19.11)


But GRASS creates the location like this:

GRASS 6.3.cvs (clc2000):/tmp > g.proj -w
PROJCS["Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area",
    GEOGCS["unnamed",
        DATUM["unknown",
            SPHEROID["unnamed",6378137,298.257222101]],
        PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],
        UNIT["degree",0.0174532925199433]],
    PROJECTION["Lambert_Azimuthal_Equal_Area"],
    PARAMETER["latitude_of_center",52],
    PARAMETER["longitude_of_center",10],
    PARAMETER["false_easting",4321000],
    PARAMETER["false_northing",3210000],
    UNIT["Meter",1]]

g.proj -p
-PROJ_INFO-------------------------------------------------

What's the trick to make GRASS recognize it completely?

thanks,
