There's the problem: those two versions are apparently incompatible.
I presume you have tried to built Ion using the manually compiled
version. However, gcc/ld in its _infinite_ wisdom has decided to
link Ion against the version in /usr/lib. This might also be because
the version in /usr/local has broken permissions: the Lua 'make
install' often does that. Check the permissions. For all of the
files installed by Lua. If that doesn't help, remove one of the 
versions.

Ah, the Ion build process actually directly turns such simple stub
loaders into .lcs without creating a .lua file. The contents of that
file are simply: ioncore.load_module('mod_sp')
