Hi Stephan

I can't give you the error msg, because there is none ...
I tried already the text version of grass, but there is no epsg
possibility and the gui version just doesn't give a error msg.

Dear Paul

reading your email, I guess there could be a problem with the gdal/proj
libraries? Is proj also used when I create a location manually?

I installed all the packages via the package manager, so normally
everything should be set accordingly. How can I test that everything is
installed correct? I tried g.proj and it works in grass
