Which backend did you select in your GNUstep defaults? You may check be
running:
defaults read NSGlobalDomain GSBackend

Does this match the backend you did compile in
($GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT)/Library/Bundles ? As GNUstep seems to be looking
for "back" you should have something like "libgnustep-back-010.bundle"
in that directory.

If this information does not help you should enable the debug output for
"BackendBundle" (by adding the parameter --GNU-Debug=BackendBundle to
your application startup)
