[Proj] msProcessProjection(): Projection library error. no system list, errno: 13

[Adrian Popa]

Hello Jean-Claude,

Unfortunately I can't upgrade my proj version because it's running on a 
kind of "legacy" server and changing it would break other things.
I have added the new projection code to the epsg file, but it still 
doesn't work. It gives the same error.

I would like an example of command line syntax for running proj - 
because I suspect it doesn't read the correct epsg file.

I don't know if it's important but my epsg file is a symlink to the real 
file. It may be an issue if the mapserver process running as apache 
can't read through symlinks...

[root at terra map]# ls -l /usr/share/proj/epsg
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Oct 13 16:01 /usr/share/proj/epsg -> 
/usr/share/proj/nad/epsg

UPDATE:

Woohoo - I've changed the symlink to a hard link and now it works!
So, it seems there were some issues with apache, not being able to read 
through symlinks (maybe because it is disabled by default?)!
The moral of the story? Make sure /usr/share/proj/epsg is not a symlink!
