[Proj] proj/libgeotiff interaction: GTIFProj4ToLatLong()

[Eric Miller]

You don't show how the variable "proj_is_latlong" is defined or assigned to.  If it's zero, GTIFProj4ToLatLong will not be called.  Also, if GTIFProj4ToLatLong returns zero for success (a typical return code) then your error message will print.

This has to do with an interaction between proj and libgeotiff, so I
don't know which list to put it to, but since it has to do with a
proj function, I'll try here.

First, the code:


  if (GTIFGetDefn (gtif, &defn)) {
    if (debug_level & 16)
      GTIFPrintDefn (&defn, stdout);
  }
...
  if ( proj_is_latlong || GTIFProj4ToLatLong( &defn, 1, &xxx, &yyy ) )   // Do all 4 of these in one call?
  {
    if (debug_level & 16) {
      fprintf(stderr,"  (%s,", GTIFDecToDMS( xxx, "Long", 2 ) );
      fprintf(stderr,"%s)\n", GTIFDecToDMS( yyy, "Lat", 2) );
      fprintf(stderr,"%f  %f\n", xxx, yyy);
    }
  }
  else {
    fprintf(stderr,"Failed GTIFProj4ToLatLong() call\n");
  }


I'm getting the "Failed GTIFProj4ToLatLong() call" message four
times, once for each such call I make.

I'm using these packages:

    proj-datumgrid-1.3.zip
    proj-4.4.9.tar.gz
    libgeotiff-1.2.3.tar.gz

I verified by re-installing these just now that I installed proj
first, then installed libgeotiff, and the libgeotiff configure found
libproj just fine.

The geotiff I'm having a problem with has UTM zone 10 coordinates.
USGS DRG geoTIFF topo maps with Lat/Long coordinates (but UTM
projection) are read in just fine by my code.
