Hello,

I am no developer, but I once had the problem with a .prj - File on 
Linux that ist was there, but not readable: don't ask me why - IIRC it 
was because of some weird copying back and forth - and I was not the 
owner of the file... So I had no rights to read the file...

A second possibility would be that the .prj File is corrupted, but then 
it should not work on windows either...or maybe different coding of line 
-endings (CR/LF... but I do not know if this could be an issue with a 
.prj-file...)

Good Luck!

Albin
