I'm not into pdf-tools but I think the trouble could be that its "make
build" does something different in terms of compilation that what
`native-compile' does.  I suspect it's not a load path problem.

Here it's hard to say something without more informations.

Could I have exact instructions to preproduce it?

Thanks
