Andval,

This indicates that the S57 CSV files with the object catalog are not being
found.  They are normally in the "GDAL Data" directory, often
/usr/local/share/gdal/ on linux, and at the gdal/data directory within the
source distribution.  You can set the GDAL_DATA or perhaps S57_CSV environment
variables to point to the directory containing the files before running.

If you are writing your own program or script you might instead use the
CPLSetConfigOption() function.  Some more details on setting configuration
options is available at:
