There are two support files that translate vectors - see the documentation.

As others have pointed out, that is expected.

I can say that:

#include "ogrsf_frmts.h"

int main()

{
  GDALAllRegister();

  GDALDataset *poDS;

  poDS = (GDALDataset *)GDALOpenEx("ENC_ROOT/US2EC03M/US2EC03M.000",
                                   GDAL_OF_VECTOR, NULL, NULL, NULL);
  if (poDS == NULL) {
    printf("Open failed.\n");
    exit(1);
  }
  printf("loaded\n");
}


results in "loaded" on my machine.
