[mapserver-dev] Mapserver Projection Issue

[Stephen Woodbridge]

Hi All,

I'm trying to run down a mapserver projection issue that is starting to 
look like it might be the version of proj4. Sorry for the cross posting.

Situation:

I'm upgrading my server from Debian Lenny to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and world 
maps on the Ubuntu system projected to Spherical Mercator are messed up 
and worked fine on Debian. I get the same issue using mapserver 6.2.1 or 
5.6.8 and the big difference other than the OS and packages is that 
Ubuntu is using proj4-4.8.0 and the older Debian system is using proj4-4.6.0

Is this a known issue? I can make the data mapfile available if that helps.

System details below.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
   -Steve

I also get the same result from:

which was built from source also using the libproj packages above.

I built mapserver from source and I also get the same result from 
mapserver-5.6.8 built from source.
