Yikes... Sorry Michal. I guess I dropped the ball on this one. As a note to myself, the FAQ http://trac.osgeo.org/proj/wiki/FAQ says: After downloading and unpacking the PROJ.4 source, also download and unpack the set of datum shift files. This would be a file like ftp://ftp.remotesensing.org/pub/proj/proj-datumgrid-1.4.zip. This file should be unpacked within the proj/nad directory. Then proceed with the configuration, build and install. This will ensure that the build system knows about the grid shift files, and applies the ascii to binary preprocessing step.
