Thanks Paul,
I'll see if I can track down a file that caused this kind of error.
Michael

Comment (by pkelly):
Hello Michael,
Please can you give an example of a file that causes this problem
(put it
online somewhere and post a link?) and I will investigate it. As far
as I
know any errors in parsing the projection information are reported.
The
only thing I can think of is that the file doesn't actually contain
projection information - it's not an error to carry on creating a
location
from this though, as some information from the file (i.e. the
extents and
resolution) can still be used in creating the location.
AND... as far as I can see g.proj already outputs a warning when an
unprojected file is being used. Something like:
Read of file ./roads.shp was successful, but it did not contain
projection information. 'XY (unprojected)' will be used
An additional warning could I suppose be added if a location is being
created, specifically reminding the user of the need to run
g.setproj or
g.proj at a later date, if we think that's necessary. But I really
need to
see an example of the file that causes this problem as I can't see
where
it would be happening.
