Kevser,

In order to represent object classes properly the OGR S-57 driver needs
access to the various object catalog files such as s57objectclasses.csv.
These are normally found in gdal/data in the source.  On windows systems
you normally have to set the GDAL_DATA environment variable to point to the
directory where these are found.  On Unix this isn't necessary if they
are installed in the standard location (/usr/local/share/gdal).

I don't know if you are using FWTools, but if you are it sets up various
paths at install time, and you can't move things afterwards without fixing
this up or some things won't work right.

Best regards,
