Huh! It sounds like you tried all the right things. I tried it with 0.9.14 and 
didn't have a problem.

The relevant code is in cells-gtk/root/gtk-ffi/gtk-ffi.lisp Try evaluating the 
load-gtk-libs in there. It calls (cffi:load-foreign-library :gobject). Try 
evaluating just that. 

Is your object file called libgobject-2-0.so ? 

You might study cffi:load-foreign-library, there isn't too much to it.
