Hello,

I'm trying to create a geotiff file from PNG map file which uses
Lambert Conformal Conical coordinate system, and hitting a road block.

$ gdal_translate -of GTiff -co INTERLEAVE=PIXEL -a_ullr 41.5569
-121.9248 32.9250 -112.9434 -a_srs '+proj=llc +lon0=90w +lat_0=25n
+lat_1=25n' test.png dest.tif
Failed to process SRS definition: +proj=llc +lon0=90w +lat_0=25n
+lat_1=25n

$ gdal_translate -of GTiff -co INTERLEAVE=PIXEL -a_ullr 41.5569
-121.9248 32.9250 -112.9434 -a_srs EPSG:9801 test.png dest.tif
ERROR 6: EPSG PCS/GCS code 9801 not found in EPSG support files.  Is
this a valid
EPSG coordinate system?
Failed to process SRS definition: EPSG:9801

Any idea what I am missing?

I downloaded gdal as part of FWTools package http://fwtools.maptools.org/

Thanks in advance,
-Gen
