A problem with gst-convert (total newbie)

I must stress that I know nothing about smalltalk.

I found a program, a mcz package, that I wanted to test.
As far as I know it's written in squeak (well, the source
file extracted
from the package).
When I try to run `gst-convert -f squeak <filename>`
the result is:
Object: PackageLoader class error: Invalid argument Parser:
package not
found

I only installed smalltalk for this program.
The program in question is 
DrGeoII-HilaireFernandes.113.mcz from
http://www.s
queaksource.com/DrGeoII.html
There's a good chance it won't work anyway, as it seems that
it's using
squeak gui, but the question for now is why gst-convert
doesn't work.
And if you're willing to help, CC me, cause I turned off
mail delivery.

WELL, SORT OF BOTH AND THAT'S THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM.
I'M USING GENTOO. THE EBUILD FOR GNU-SMALLTALK BUILDS IT IN
FOLLOWING
WAY:
./CONFIGURE --PREFIX=/USR <A FEW ENABLES>
MAKE
MAKE PREFIX="$/USR"
MANDIR="$/USR/SHARE/MAN"
INFODIR="$/USR/SHARE/INFO"
LISPDIR="$/USR/SHARE/EMACS/SITE-LISP/GNU-SMALLTALK&q
uot; LIBDIR="$/USR/LIB" INSTALL

BUT THIS CAUSES DIRECTORY SYSTEMKERNEL TO BE
$/USR/SHARE/SMALLTALK/KERNEL, SO IS THERE SOME VARIABLE
TO BE PASSED
TO MAKE THAT FIXES THAT ?

Yes, you have to extract the .st source file and pass it to
gst-convert.

Can you 1) execute "Directory systemKernel" and
see what it gives; 2) 
look on your disk for Parser.star and send the path?

Also, did you install from a binary distribution, or from
source?

Yes, but let's look at the other problem.

What's $?  Why is it being used instead of

    make DESTDIR="$" install

Well, that was it, after I corrected abot 4 instances of
this problem,
I got to the point were gst-convert output is:
gst-convert: warning: superclass Morph is undefined
gst-convert: warning: extensions for undefined class Morph
gst-convert: warning: superclass StringMorph is undefined
gst-convert: warning: superclass PolygonMorph is undefined
gst-convert: warning: superclass SystemWindow is undefined
gst-convert: warning: superclass PasteUpMorph is undefined
gst-convert: warning: superclass Model is undefined

gst-convert: warning: superclass Model is undefined
gst-convert: warning: superclass PackageInfo is undefined
gst-convert: warning: superclass BorderedMorph is undefined
gst-convert: warning: superclass BorderedMorph is undefined
gst-convert: error: Expecting a literal type

No line number or anything else. What now ?

A bug? 

Attach the file to a bug report (with the 1-2's fixed).
