[GRASS-dev] proj file not found

Hello,
I am using the Ubuntu packages from:
http://les-ejk.cz/ubuntu/

When I want to create a new location based on EPSG codes the program looks for
the epsg file in
/usr/local/share/proj/epsg

This file does not exist because it is in
/usr/share/proj/epsg

What do we need to do do correct this?

Another thing is that there should be a explication why the SAD69 datum ist
called sam69 in GRASS.

Kind regards,
Tim

Setting the environment variable GRASS_PROJSHARE to
/usr/local/share/proj should work.

Setting the environment variable GRASS_PROJSHARE to
/usr/local/share/proj should work.

But then it's either wrongly set in the Ubuntu proj package or in the
http://les-ejk.cz/ubuntu/ packages.

So where is proj supposed to be?
