Being the debian maintainer of gdal I checked whether
s57objectclasses.csv is in the corresponding packages. It is indeed
included in libgdal1_1.2+cvs.031111-1_i386.deb but will be located
in /usr/share/gdal after installation. Am I right, that libgdal1 is
installed on your system as well.

In this case this seems to be a bug in my package. Could you then
please file a bug? I will provide a new release to fix the bug as
soon as possible. 

Frank, is it possible, that the function  CPLFinderInit in
port/cpl_findfile.cpp is responsible for  the searchpaths to finding
the right file? In this case $prefix/share/gdal should be added to
the FinderLocations or am I completely wrong? I don't know the code
too well.

Greetings,

BTW: Is there any plan to release gdal 1.2.0? I am not too glad with
the CVS-version of gdal in debian. An official stable release would
be much better.
