[Qgis-user] natural earth projection and qgis?

[Chris Henrick]

no worries,

I tried in bash:
$ ogr2ogr -s_srs '+proj=natearth +wktext' -t_srs "EPSG:4326"
trade_arrows_4326.shp trade_arrows.shp

and got:
Failed to process SRS definition: +proj=natearth +wktext

then I tried

$ ogr2ogr -s_srs 'LOCAL_CS["foo", EXTENSION["PROJ4", "+proj=natearth
+wktext"]]' -t_srs "EPSG:4326" trade_arrows_4326.shp trade_arrows.shp

and success. I must have GDAL < 2.0
