Package: proj Version: 4.6.0-2 Severity: normal
Hi, I'm having trouble with the examples from the man page and your README.Debian. First, "man cs2cs" suggests: cs2cs +proj=latlong +datum=NAD83 +to +proj=utm +zone=10 +datum=NAD27 -r <<EOF 45d15’33.1" 111.5W 45d15.551666667N -111d30 +45.25919444444 111d30’000w EOF The problem with this is the curly-quote character in the first and last data lines (which may or may not reach you depending on how unicode-friendly everything between me and you is). The curly-quote character is not present in the man page source so presumably it's a result of man being "clever". My guess is that there is some way to escape the character so that it is not munged but I'm not enough of a man expert to know how to do it. cs2cs doesn't report an error when it gets this input; it just produces wrong output. That in itself is probably a bug. Having fixed that, I'm still getting the wrong answer: $ cs2cs +proj=latlong +datum=NAD83 +to +proj=utm +zone=10 +datum=NAD27 -r 45d15'33.1" 111.5W 1402224.58 5076275.42 -0.00 The output that the man page says I should get is: 1402285.99 5076292.42 0.000 Maybe the examples from README.Debian will give a clue: $ cs2cs +proj=latlong +datum=NAD27 +to +proj=latlong +datum=NAD83 -117 30 117dW 30dN 0.000 So this conversion from NAD27 to NAD83 has changed nothing, which is clearly wrong, and I guess that the error in the previous example could also be due to a 27/83 mixup. With nad2nad I get a more explicit error: $ nad2nad -i 83 -o 27 -r conus Rel. 4.6.0, 21 Dec 2007 <nad2nad>: datum file: conus, failed: no system list, errno: 2 program abnormally terminated Any ideas what's going on?
