Please look inside the directory where buff-menu.elc is installed on your system (if you don't know where that is, then the value of the load-path variable will list all the possible places). Do you see buff-menu.el there? If not, that is the cause of your problem: whoever installed Emacs on your system removed the *.el files. Btw, what version of Emacs is that? ("M-x emacs-version RET" will tell you, if you don't know.)
