Subject: g.proj -p segfaults because of missing datum name
Platform: GNU/Linux/x86
grass obtained from: CVS
grass binary for platform: Compiled from Sources
GRASS Version: cvs_head_20060724
Trying to use the "Use georeferenced file" for new location definition in the start-up screen I get a segfault.
Searching for the cause, I find that it's in the call to g.proj, as calling g.proj -p on the file gives the following:
g.proj -p UrbAdm_Mu.shp
Trying to open with GDAL...ERROR 4: `UrbAdm_Mu.shp' not recognised as a supported file format.
Trying to open with OGR......succeeded.
WARNING: Datum 'unnamed' not recognised by GRASS and no parameters found.
Datum transformation will not be possible using this projection
information.
Segmentation fault
The warning comes from GPJ_osr_to_grass() which is in lib/proj/convert.c. I don't know why it segfaults, though.
Do we absolutely need a datum name as the information contained in the .prj file seems to be sufficient to create a location ?
ogrinfo gives the following on the file:
$ ogrinfo -so UrbAdm_Mu.shp UrbAdm_Mu

using driver `ESRI Shapefile' successful.
