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.squeaksource.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.

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.

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="${D}/usr" mandir="${D}/usr/share/man" infodir="${D}/usr/share/info" lispdir="${D}/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/gnu-smalltalk" libdir="${D}/usr/lib" install

But this causes Directory systemKernel to be
${D}/usr/share/smalltalk/kernel, so is there some variable to be passed
to make that fixes that ?

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

    make DESTDIR="${D}" install

You're right, it should use it. I filed a bug in gentoo bugzilla and now
I shall update it with this info.

Now gst-convert works and gives:
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: error: <path>drgeo2.st:319: End of statement
list encountered

but I ran simply gst-convert -f squeak, so while the warnings will
probably stay (as they are probably squeak-class related), maybe the
error is something that needs one of those -r optins mentioned in the
FAQ. Any idea ?

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 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 ?

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