I don't know much about gp2c, but this looks like an environmental issue.

That error seems to imply it's looking in the root directory '/' for the file, so
possibly you need to specify the full path to the .so file, or set an environment
variable.

Try running under strace to see exactly which system calls gp2c-run is making.
Also check that auto.gp.so can load ok with 'ldd auto.gp.so'.
