David,

First, please ensure that you are using EPSG:4326 not EPGS:4326.  Second
you can set the PROJ_LIB and GDAL_DATA environment variables to point to
the relavent directories to ensure that PROJ.4 and GDAL can find their
coordinate system definitions.

The PROJ_LIB environment variable should point to a directory containing
the init file "epsg".  The GDAL_DATA environment variable should point to
a directory containing the files gcs.csv and pcs.csv.

Best regards,
