Well, this looks interesting!

Line 76: Could not load schemas from /share/glib-2.0/schemas:

What gnome-commander tries to do here is to open default configuration
options from or via GSettings.

Normally, when installing gnome-commander via "make install", there is
a section at the and in the console output, saying the following:

if test -n "org.gnome.gnome-commander.gschema.xml 
org.gnome.gnome-commander.enums.xml"; then \
        test -z "/usr/local/share/glib-2.0/schemas" || /bin/mkdir -p 
"/usr/local/share/glib-2.0/schemas"; \
        /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 org.gnome.gnome-commander.gschema.xml 
org.gnome.gnome-commander.enums.xml "/usr/local/share/glib-2.0/schemas"; \
        test -n "" || /usr/bin/glib-compile-schemas 
/usr/local/share/glib-2.0/schemas; \
fi

In a nutshell, the command glib-compile-schemas finds the previously
copied file org.gnome.gnome-commander.gschema.xml in the folder
/usr/local/share/glib-2.0/schemas and compiles the schema file as
explained here:
https://developer.gnome.org/gio/stable/glib-compile-schemas.html

I am no snap expert so I can't say anything what you have to do now in
your snap file. But maybe what is written here could help you?

Hope that helps.
