Bill,

My guess is that the projection initialization file is not being
found.  Where is your "epsg" file?  On unix it would normally
be in /usr/local/share/proj or perhaps /usr/share/proj.  You
might try setting the PROJ_LIB environment variable to point
to the appropriate directory and see if that helps.

Other than that, I would suggest upgrading to PROJ 4.4.9
though I can't immediately think of any reason that should be
necessary.

Best regards,
