This is likely your issue: gnucash as of 2.5.6 comes with a number of gsettings schemas. If 
you don't install them, GnuCash can't find them and will crash on the first attempt to access 
gsettings.

GnuCash moved to gsettings with 2.5.6. You shouldn't be installing gconf schemas, but 
gsettings schemas.

I'm curious why you don't let make and make install do this for you automatically. Is that 
something Arch specific ?
