LCC projection throws error

[cspencer51]

When working with a Lambert Conformal Conic projection, and the following .json config file I, I get "ERROR 6: No translation for Lambert_Conformal_Conic to PROJ.4 format is known."

{
    "proj": {
        "id": "proj4",
        "opts": "+proj=lcc"
    },
    "layers": {
        "base": {
            "src": "COMMUNE.shp",
            "join": {
                "group-by": {
                    "commune": "NOM_COMM"
                },
                "export-ids": false
            }
        }
    }
}

$ kartograph fr.json -o fr.svg

There's not a lot of documentation on how the projections are supposed to work, so that part of the JSON is pieced together from what I've found here: https://github.com/kartograph/kartograph.py/issues/34 and here: ftp://ftp.remotesensing.org/proj/OF90-284.pdf .

Anyone else have this issue with either LCC or another projection?

Just bumping this issue to make sure it is still on the radar. Cool product, but my only workaround for this issue has been to convert the base file. (It is not possible, for example, to try to convert the on the fly via the input JSON tree.)

In the '.prj' file, the projection property must be 'PROJECTION["Lambert_Conformal_Conic_2sp"]', not 'PROJECTION["Lambert_Conformal_Conic"]'.

I'm having a similar issue with

ERROR 6: No translation for Albers to PROJ.4 format is known.
