Hi,
I am quite new to GRASS and this is my first post to this list. To familiarize myself
with the software I have started to import data and now and then I get this warning:
"Datum <Rikets_koordinatsystem_1990> not recognised by GRASS and no parameters found"
Is this something I should be concerned about and how can I get rid of it?
My location is set up by choosing epsg number 3021 and the output from g.region -p is:
projection: 99 (Transverse Mercator)
zone: 0
datum: ** unknown (default: WGS84) **
ellipsoid: bessel
north: 7679625
south: 6124975
west: 1196975
east: 1900025
nsres: 50
ewres: 50
rows: 31093
cols: 14061
cells: 437198673
Best regards
Anders

The datum I have found here:
http://crs.bkg.bund.de/crseu/crs/eu-description.php?crs_id=dFNFX1JUOTAgLyBTRV9UTQ==
so the needed software change in GRASS might be:
svn diff lib/gis/

--- lib/gis/datumtransform.table (revision 40764)

but I don't manage to link it to EPSG 3021 in the location wizard.
We'll find out.

Thanks for reporting this. The problem is simply that support for the Swedish datum rt90 was never added to GRASS. I've now added it in SVN to 7.0, 6.5 and 6.4. Having the datum undefined will only cause problems if you wish to reproject maps or data from/to your location.
If you've updated from SVN and want to include the datum parameters in your location you can run
g.proj -c epsg=3021
and it will update the support files (PROJ_INFO in particular).

Wow, open source is fantastic! Less than one hour after my question I have two answers
and a fix submitted to the source repository. That's hard to beat for any support organization
