[GRASS-user] RE: [GRASS-dev] Can't create locations using EPS G codes

[Patton, Eric]

Thanks, Paul. g.proj -c creates the location perfectly. I confirmed the proj
paramters from within the new location:

g.proj -p 
 -PROJ_INFO-------------------------------------------------
name       : Stereographic
proj       : stere
a          : 6378137
es         : 0.006694380022900787
lat_0      : 46.5
lon_0      : -66.5
k          : 0.999912
x_0        : 2500000
y_0        : 7500000
towgs84    : 0,0,0,0,0,0,0
no_defs    : defined
-PROJ_UNITS------------------------------------------------
unit       : metre
units      : metres
meters     : 1

So that's odd. Anyway, I'll use this as a workaround for the future. Thanks
again.

~ Eric.

This file isn't used for anything unless you select to browse EPSG codes

(which simply displays this file). So should make no difference even if
it 
isn't there.

Does the start-up GUI hide error messages? Can you try it from the 
command-line and post what you type and what happens? Try something
like:
g.proj -c location=newloc proj4=+init=epsg:XXXX
