Are you saying that 'make check' failed, or that you looked at the 
test log file and the output was not there?

Try this from within the build directory:

   ./rungm.sh ./utilities/gm convert -list fonts

The rungm.sh script produces environment variables necessary to 
find/use uninstalled files.

If you were to run it like:

   ./rungm.sh env

then the output of 'env' should show an updated LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and 
also include these environment variables:

   MAGICK_CODER_MODULE_PATH
   MAGICK_CONFIGURE_PATH
   MAGICK_FILTER_MODULE_PATH

You could do something like this to produce a sub-shell with all of 
the variables set:

   ./rungm.sh sh
   ./utilities/gm convert -list fonts
   [ font list appears ]
   exit
   [ sub-shell exits ]
