Hi, The geoid files should be in /usr/share/geotranz/data/ Please check if in that directory there are the following files:
3_param.dat 7_param.dat default.xml egm84.grd egm96.grd ellips.dat I've checked and they are included in the powerpc .deb so you should have them. If the files are missing, try reinstalling the package (apt-get --reinstall install geontraz) If you have the files but geotranz does not work, do the following and tell me if it works: cd /usr/share/geotranz/data/ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/geotranz java -jar /usr/share/geotranz/java_gui/geotrans2.jar I'm unable to reproduce the bug, so please send me more information.
