Hi,
Using the ogr2ogr program to transform from shape to tab or visa versa 
gives us the following error when specifying the s_srs parameter as an 
EPSG value. the syntax is as follows:

ogr2ogr -f "MapInfo File" -a_srs "EPSG:25832" 
"D:\SG\WorkspaceInterbase\BackgroundThemes\jernbane.tab" 
"U:\temp\amtsShpfiles\Kort\jernbane.shp"


ERROR 4: Unable to open EPSG support file gcs.csv.
Try setting the GDAL_DATA environment variable to point to the
directory containing EPSG csv files.
Failed to process SRS definition: EPSG:25832



The GDAL_DATA is set to to the csv library and we ahve also tried to 
copy all the csv files into the smae libray as ogr2ogr. Can any body 
help us?

Sincerely

Esben Auken and Svetlana Gribenco
