[OSRS-PROJ] proj-4.4.6 can't find epsg

[Leah Roderman]

Hello, I'm running into a problem with proj-4.4.6 not finding the epsg file. I am using proj4 with MapServer 3.6.4 on RedHat8.0, and compiled proj4 (using gcc 3.2) first with default option, and then MapServer (using gcc 2.95). From what I've read, everything is located where it should be, so I'm wondering what I missed.

The error is produced by using the term "init=espg:102003" in a MapServer projection layer. This epsg code corresponds to Albers NAD83 in the epsg file. Output to browser is "msProcessProjection(): Projection library error. no system list, errno: 2"

MapServer says it recognizes proj4: 

# cgi-bin/mapserv -v
MapServer version 3.6.4 OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=TTF SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER INPUT=TIFF INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=JPEG INPUT=POSTGIS INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE

system knows proj:

# which proj
/usr/local/bin/proj
# /usr/local/bin/proj -v
Rel. 4.4.6, 3 March 2003
<proj>: 
projection initialization failure
cause: no arguments in initialization list
program abnormally terminated

nad dir exists where supposed to:

# ls /usr/local/share/proj/
epsg  GL27   nad83    pj_out27.dist  proj_def.dat  test83
esri  nad27  nad.lst  pj_out83.dist  test27        world

Perhaps permissions? all owned by root, 644. Hmmmm, what else. No mention of epsg in config.log

Thanks for the help, hope this sparks some recognition for someone...
