[Mapserver-users] WFS Anyone?

[Keith Campbell]

Frank,

The files you speak of appear to be in /export/home/local/util/proj/nad

Assuming that this location is not being picked up, I set PROJ_LIB to 
point to this directory. However, that didn't resolve the problem. 
Possibly this is due to the fact i don't have admin rights, and although 
the variable was reported to have changed, when I logged out and back in 
again, the variable was not set. I think I will need to get the server 
administrator to set this variable and try again?
