Paul / Markus,

The gdal/data/*.csv files are installed by default with GDAL.

"considered a working installation" is a relative thing.  There are
folks who use GDAL without the .csv files and most things work fine.
It will not always be immediately obvious if the files are missing.
But generally, they are required for coorect operation of GDAL.

Best regards,
