Hi Hamish
I have attached the information asked for below. The region is pretty much
as I entered it. It is just a test, so I know the resolution is too low for
real work. I had some finger trouble with the datum, but it seems to have
defaulted to WGS84, which is right.
I see I have two different versions of libgdal installed. Should I
uninstall the additional libgdal with "sudo apt-get uninstall ..."? And
should gdal-bin and libgdal1-dev be uninstalled as well?
Thanks
Brendon
