Hello, I can't use transformation projection (wgs84 to Google mercator) with geodjango on fedora 12 x86_64 (it works with debian, ubuntu and mac os X). Geodjango use gdal projection, this projection are defined in /usr/share/gdal. In fedora we have : total 1.3M drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4.0K 2010-05-18 08:54 . drwxr-xr-x. 262 root root 12K 2010-05-18 08:54 .. -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 6.7K 2009-08-22 12:20 coordinate_axis.csv -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 13K 2009-08-22 12:20 ellipsoid.csv -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 39K 2009-08-22 12:20 gcs.csv -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1.5K 2009-08-22 12:20 gcs.override.csv -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 10K 2009-08-22 12:20 gdal -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 153K 2009-08-22 12:20 gdal_datum.csv -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 2.0K 2009-08-22 12:20 gdalicon.png -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 13K 2009-08-22 12:20 GDALLogoBW.svg -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 13K 2009-08-22 12:20 GDALLogoColor.svg -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 13K 2009-08-22 12:20 GDALLogoGS.svg -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 16K 2009-08-22 12:20 gt_datum.csv -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1.7K 2009-08-22 12:20 gt_ellips.csv -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 481K 2009-08-22 12:20 pcs.csv -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 921 2009-08-22 12:20 pcs.override.csv -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1.6K 2009-08-22 12:20 prime_meridian.csv -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 178K 2009-08-22 12:20 projop_wparm.csv -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 13K 2009-08-22 12:20 s57agencies.csv -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 18K 2009-08-22 12:20 s57attributes_aml.csv -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 7.1K 2009-08-22 12:20 s57attributes.csv -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 8.6K 2009-08-22 12:20 s57attributes_iw.csv -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 21K 2009-08-22 12:20 s57expectedinput.csv -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 63K 2009-08-22 12:20 s57objectclasses_aml.csv -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 31K 2009-08-22 12:20 s57objectclasses.csv -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 37K 2009-08-22 12:20 s57objectclasses_iw.csv -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 9.0K 2009-08-22 12:20 seed_2d.dgn -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 2.0K 2009-08-22 12:20 seed_3d.dgn -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 11K 2009-08-22 12:20 stateplane.csv -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 19K 2009-08-22 12:20 unit_of_measure.csv And in the gdal source (for the version 1.6.3) : total 1792 -rw-r--r--. 1 nabil nabil 6797 2008-07-21 21:20 coordinate_axis.csv -rw-r--r--. 1 nabil nabil 11977 2007-09-28 22:52 cubewerx_extra.wkt -rw-r--r--. 1 nabil nabil 345646 2007-03-19 03:44 ecw_cs.wkt -rw-r--r--. 1 nabil nabil 12848 2008-07-21 21:20 ellipsoid.csv -rw-r--r--. 1 nabil nabil 50 2004-03-04 19:06 epsg.wkt -rw-r--r--. 1 nabil nabil 206041 2009-07-29 04:46 esri_extra.wkt -rw-r--r--. 1 nabil nabil 39191 2008-07-21 21:20 gcs.csv -rw-r--r--. 1 nabil nabil 1454 2008-10-30 19:31 gcs.override.csv -rw-r--r--. 1 nabil nabil 155975 2007-07-20 22:21 gdal_datum.csv -rw-r--r--. 1 nabil nabil 2037 2006-10-05 03:54 gdalicon.png -rw-r--r--. 1 nabil nabil 13084 2006-10-05 03:55 GDALLogoBW.svg -rw-r--r--. 1 nabil nabil 12367 2006-10-05 03:55 GDALLogoColor.svg -rw-r--r--. 1 nabil nabil 12367 2006-10-05 03:55 GDALLogoGS.svg -rw-r--r--. 1 nabil nabil 15804 2007-10-23 03:03 gt_datum.csv -rw-r--r--. 1 nabil nabil 1719 2007-10-23 03:03 gt_ellips.csv -rw-r--r--. 1 nabil nabil 492362 2008-07-21 21:20 pcs.csv -rw-r--r--. 1 nabil nabil 921 2007-07-20 22:21 pcs.override.csv -rw-r--r--. 1 nabil nabil 1599 2002-11-28 16:53 prime_meridian.csv -rw-r--r--. 1 nabil nabil 181552 2008-07-21 21:20 projop_wparm.csv -rw-r--r--. 1 nabil nabil 13304 2006-02-15 21:22 s57agencies.csv -rw-r--r--. 1 nabil nabil 18115 2005-07-30 20:27 s57attributes_aml.csv -rw-r--r--. 1 nabil nabil 7254 2000-08-29 20:04 s57attributes.csv -rw-r--r--. 1 nabil nabil 8745 2005-08-30 20:02 s57attributes_iw.csv -rw-r--r--. 1 nabil nabil 20885 2000-08-29 20:04 s57expectedinput.csv -rw-r--r--. 1 nabil nabil 63984 2007-11-20 15:40 s57objectclasses_aml.csv -rw-r--r--. 1 nabil nabil 31226 2007-11-20 15:40 s57objectclasses.csv -rw-r--r--. 1 nabil nabil 37030 2007-11-20 15:40 s57objectclasses_iw.csv -rw-r--r--. 1 nabil nabil 9216 2002-11-12 19:36 seed_2d.dgn -rw-r--r--. 1 nabil nabil 2048 2003-05-12 16:42 seed_3d.dgn -rw-r--r--. 1 nabil nabil 10315 2008-07-21 21:20 stateplane.csv -rw-r--r--. 1 nabil nabil 18860 2008-07-21 21:20 unit_of_measure.csv You forget the wkt definition in the rpm package (or they aren't in gdal 1.6.1). I will build by myself gdal in waiting of a solution.
With gdal compiled from scratch, it works perfectly.
Fedora uses a special tarball where some things are stripped out for license reasons: Removed files: ======================================== # due to uncertain license issues and derivative copy from ESRI (TM) and CubeWerx (TM): data/cubewerx_extra.wkt data/esri_extra.wkt data/epsg.wkt <- removed paths. data/ecw_cs.wkt <- removed paths. Removed folders plus its contents: ======================================== # due to uncertain license issues these formats are removed and not suported in fedora pack: swig/php <-- PHP license, incompatible mixture.
