I'm almost 100% sure it's working.  Previously, *f-l-d* was set to
"lib/".  When I tried loading start.lisp from a lisp started from some
other directory, loading the libraries failed.  When I changed *f-l-d*
to the full path, I could load the libraries.

So make sure *f-l-d* has the full path to the matlisp lib directory. 
That should work.  Or temporarily rename the blas library in /usr/lib
and see what's happening.
