This option will result in binaries in $HOME/geda/bin . Probably, this 
directory is not included your $PATH environment variable. So the shell 
won't find the gschem binary. 

See the output of  
	echo $PATH
for the current contents of your PATH variable. 

There are a couple of options to fix this:

a) --prefix=/usr/local
(make sure, this directory is writable for the use, who issues "make 
install")

b) Add $HOME/geda/bin to your PATH variable
(see the output of make in the geda source directory for suitable bash 
commands)

c) Add symbolic links to the geda binaries in /usr/local/bin

Hope, this helps.
