Description Russell Harrison 2010-03-24 22:31:42 UTC

This seems to be back in F12.  Creating the symlink resolves the issue for me.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #429038 +++

Description of problem:

ogr2ogr -f gml -t_srs 'EPSG:4326' out.gml in.shp

gives this error:

ERROR 6: Unable to load PROJ.4 library (libproj.so), creation of
OGRCoordinateTransformation failed.
Failed to create coordinate transformation between the
following coordinate systems.  This may be because they
are not transformable, or because projection services
(PROJ.4 DLL/.so) could not be loaded.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

gdal-1.4.2-3.fc8
proj-4.5.0-1.fc7

Running 'ln -s /usr/lib/libproj.so.0 /usr/lib/libproj.so' fixes the problem. I'm not sure if this is proj or 
gdal's fault.

now should be OK for F9 and F8

Comment 1 Volker Fröhlich 2010-07-08 23:13:55 UTC

Works for me. I tried it on point, line and polygon, using an Austrian projection on the original dataset, which refers to a Bessel ellipsoid.

Comment 2 Fedora Admin XMLRPC Client 2010-08-05 06:05:46 UTC

This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Comment 3 Bug Zapper 2010-11-03 18:41:40 UTC

This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 12.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '12'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Comment 4 Bug Zapper 2010-12-03 16:48:12 UTC

Fedora 12 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-12-02. Fedora 12 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
