[postgis-users] transform error for swiss projection

[Johannes Bühler]

Hi, 
im trying to transform a geometry from wgs84 to the swiss epsg:2056 or epsg:21781. i compiled postgis 0.9 with postgresql 8.0beta4 and have the most current version of proj4 (4.4.9) installed as well. but when i execute the folling statement 

select transform(GeometryFromText('POINT(7.675133 47.533609)',4326), 21781);

i get the following error message.

FEHLER:  tranform: couldnt parse proj4 output string
KONTEXT:  PL/pgSQL function "transform" line 2 at return

using other target projections it works.

using the most current gdal 1.2.3 the conversation is fine. But there has been the same problem before as described in 

http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=423

so probably its the same problem 

Thanks for any help

with kind regards
