I have successfully tried (even with the srs.db-error popping up in
win32) the WMS services from DEMIS or NASA Onearth:
	
	http://www.demis.nl/wms/wms.asp?
	http://wms.jpl.nasa.gov/wms.cgi?


Perhaps they work for you?!

Thanks for finding the bug in linking the paths of the srs.db, even if
the reason is not explainable...

I will update my experimental win32-build.


Best regards
