I'm using the same file as you posted earlier, the path on line 14 is:
loadusr -W ./lcec_conf ethercat-conf.xml

Yes, I know. I looked at my git repo before replying. But the difference is it worked for me and is reporting a file not found error for you. Read the error message you posted. I have also experienced similar errors in the past. You can either continue to complain or undertake some troubleshooting at your end to resolve the error like I did. I can't help further.

This is what I got, by enter "sudo apt install linuxcnc-ethercat"

Hello Rodw, I think this is what I am coming-up against. When running 'sudo halcmd loadusr -W Icec_conf ethercat-conf.xml ' I get 'commandlin>:0: execv(Icec_conf): no such file or directory' then 'waitpid failed Icec_conf', and then 'Icec_conf exited'..
I'm on the last parts of setting up Ethercat and get stumped by this.
Also, thank you for pointing me in the right direction on the RTAI thread wrt ethercat.

There is something wrong when it can't find lcec_conf. Maybe later versions place it in a different folder
Have you installed linuxcnc-ethercat?

From memory, as I'm not near that pc presently. I had no end of problems trying to install due to missing Realtek network drivers, but cured that by finding some in the firmware archive. Placed those in the firmware directory of the install boot disk. The install went smoothly as per your instructions here, up until this point. I did an update/upgrade and am on the very latest version of Lcnc. Version ending .3 I think. Yes I did lcnc-ethercat and went very smoothly up to here.

Looking at the above post, I don't recall installing headers separately. Maybe that is it.
