Gorm, GWorkspace and ProjectCenter require that you do a "make install" since
they all have libraries/frameworks which are required by and built along with
the application.   If you have done the install step, check your
LD_LIBRARY_PATH and make sure it has /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Libraries as
one of the entries.

As for Gorm, this is specifically mentioned in the INSTALL (perhaps rather
tersly, but specified nonetheless).
