Being a Ubuntu/Debian knob, I am probably not the best person to answer this, but one way is to build Proj from source. Building Proj is very easy as it does not have dependencies. However, if you just do a: ./configure make make install the binary datum grid shift files will be placed in /usr/local/share/proj/ The Ubuntu/Debian convention is for the files to go in /usr/share/proj So to follow the Ubuntu/Debian structure, you would install Proj to a temporary directory, and then copy the binary datum grid shift to /usr/share/proj So step by step: From http://trac.osgeo.org/proj/ download and unpack the source, currently proj-4.6.1.tar.gz or proj-4.6.1.zip and then download the ASCII datum grid shift files proj-datumgrid-1.4.zip. The grid shift files must be unpacked into the Proj source nad/ directory. For example proj-4.6.1/nad Then configure to with a prefix to a temporary location, for example:we ./configure --prefix=$HOME/proj make make install The binary datum grid shift files are created in the 'make install' step. These files are platform specific, so do not copy Windows files to a Linux computer, or vice versa. Now copy the datum grid shift files to /usr/share/proj sudo cp ~/proj/nad/* /usr/share/proj -- Richard Greenwood [email protected] www.greenwoodmap.com _______________________________________________ postgis-users mailing list [email protected] http://postgis.refractions.net/mailman/listinfo/postgis-users
