It looks as if something in the installation did not work correctly.
Can you check the output of "make install" again and scan it for
errors? It looks to me as if the schema files for GSettings are not
installed in the user settings file. Gcmd can not open it's default
settings in that case.

The installation step should happen nearly at the end of "make
install". This is how it looks for me:

[...]
 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
[...]
