Apparently building the .elc file failed for you.  It's hard to say
more without seeing a log of the build.

Ok, my guess is that it tries to load search.fs, although it is
already loaded.  If you start gforth and do

.included

you should see the search.fs somewhere in the output, e.g.,
"/usr/share/gforth/0.7.2/search.fs".  If you now do

require search.fs

nothing should happen, but I guess you will see the same problem as
above.  If you do

s" search.fs" open-fpath-file throw type

you should ideally see the filename also shown by .included.
