Pretty self explanatory...

I have tried for teh last hour or so to get a spatial_ref_sys entry with a proj4text value equating to this text from a shape.prj file, but without success. Teh test that tells me I'm failing is that I can't get transform to generate a correct EPSG:4326 reprojection of the data.

Any help gratefully accepted.

PROJCS["Clarke_1866_Mercator",GEOGCS["GCS_Clarke_1866",DATUM["D_Clarke_1866",SPHEROID["Clarke_1866",6378206.4,294.9786982]],PRIMEM["Greenwich",0.0],UNIT["Degree",0.0174532925199433]],PROJECTION["Mercator"],PARAMETER["False_Easting",0.0],PARAMETER["False_Northing",0.0],PARAMETER["Central_Meridian",100.0],PARAMETER["Standard_Parallel_1",-46.0],UNIT["Meter",1.0]]


Thanks
