[GRASS-user] Warning message while using r.in.gdal

[António Rocha]

Hi all

I have Location/Mapset with this characteristics:
g.region 
-p                                                                    
projection: 3 (Latitude-Longitude)
zone:       0
datum:      wgs84
ellipsoid:  wgs84

I'm I'm trying to import a file with the following geographic 
characteristics (using gdalinfo):
Driver: GTiff/GeoTIFF
Files: euro_area_latlong.tif
Size is 1721, 595
Coordinate System is:
GEOGCS["WGS 84",
    DATUM["unknown",
        SPHEROID["unnamed",6378137,298.2572235629972]],
    PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],
    UNIT["degree",0.0174532925199433]]


When I do r.in.gdal, to import this file, I get the following Warning:
Datum <unknown> not recognised by GRASS and no parameters found
Projection of input dataset and current location appear to match

It imports but it wasn't suppose to get this error since i'm using the 
same coordinate/projection system. How can I avoid this? Should I add 
more information to destination_projection when I warped that file?

Thanks

Best regards
Antonio
