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.)
