That's expected, because dbnomics isn't a contributed package, it's an "official" addon. Could you see what happens if you try under /Help/Check for addons ? (Though that shouldn't be necessary.)

But we need to see what's going wrong with the other pathway (when the addons are not buit into the gretl-for-Linux package).
