I've done the same also with strace: "strace ecl 2>/opt/tmp/strace-ecl.txt"
The output is here: http://pmrb.free.fr/tmp/strace-ecl.txt.gz
But I don't know how to find the reason for the error...

Thanks. I was used to type just the number (habit from sbcl).

Thanks for this hint: there was indeed a problem with a directory
~/.cache that has been created without my knowledge: that filesystem has
only 2MB free space, so at one point there was probably a problem with
"no space left on device". ~/.cache points now to a bigger partition, so
there is no more such problem.

How could I debug this problem please?

Thank you for your efforts. Kind regards,
