Evening list, I've got some shapefiles that came without a .prj component but the data source sent me confirmation of the proj details and I think I've confirmed that the data was projected using EPSG:3978 (NAD83 / Canada Atlas Lambert).
I've zipped them in my dropbox at https://db.tt/EO53JsUR I applied that projection to a resultant shapefile and my data is now lining up, but this is only on Windows 8.1 when QGIS is installed from the osgeo4w 64-bit installer. But opening the same shapefile on Arch Linux, QGIS 2.0.1 can't recognize the projection and instead gives it the wrong parameters and as: USER:100000 - * Generated CRS (+proj=lcc +lat_1=49 +lat_0=49 +lon_0=-95 +k_0=1 +x_0=0 +y_0=0 +ellps=GRS80 +towgs84=0,0,0,0,0,0,0 +units=m +no_defs) So it's not lining up to other data. It should instead be: (+proj=lcc +lat_1=49 +lat_2=77 +lat_0=49 +lon_0=-95 +x_0=0 +y_0=0 +ellps=GRS80 +towgs84=0,0,0,0,0,0,0 +units=m +no_defs) which is EPSG:3978 What can I do on Arch Linux so that EPSG:3978 can be recognized, it isn't in the projection list like it is on Windows... Not sure if this is because of something lacking in the proj4 library or is it a QGIS thing? Can it be compiled in by default like on Windows? Any help is appreciated, thanks =) SaultDon _______________________________________________ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
