Benjamin,

The thing that sticks out above is that the system is trying to open
is "EPSG" not "epsg".  That is, uppercase instead of lower case.

As a first test, try copying /usr/local/share/proj/epsg to
/usr/local/share/proj/EPSG and see if that helps.   If so, we still
should figure out where the wrong case is coming from.

Well, that's it.  You should use "init=epsg:31493".

The no system error list just means that as built PROJ.4 doesn't know how
to translate error "2" into the "file not found" message that corresponds
to it.
