Greetings! I believe the issue here is that the collectfn.o module has been stripped. GCL appends initialization data to its compiled object modules by default -- if missing, then .data files are sought. GCL itself installs the .o file alone, and typically package installers run strip on such objects unless instructed to do otherwise.
The weird path results from the si::*load-path* order: >si::*load-path* ("/usr/lib/gcl-2.6.8/xgcl-2/" "/usr/lib/gcl-2.6.8/lsp/" "/usr/lib/gcl-2.6.8/gcl-tk/" "/usr/lib/gcl-2.6.8/cmpnew/") This is harmless, AFAICT.
