missing halos & some trouble getting started

Hello mailing list,

I'm new to seaside and have some questions about the setup, etc.
I'm trying to run Seaside on GNU Smalltalk 3.1 but gst-remote doesn't seem to work correctly on my machine.
So I tried to get around that without using gst-remote.

For the sake of completeness, although this isn't a GST mailing list: I tried to follow the 'Seaside on GST'
section at the GST website, but the following simple test already fails, and well, pretty much everything
I try to --eval fails.

# gst-remote --daemon
gst-remote server started.
# gst-remote --eval '12 factorial'
/usr/local/share/smalltalk/kernel/../scripts/Remote.st:275: Aborted
/usr/local/share/smalltalk/kernel/../scripts/Remote.st:275: Aborted
/usr/local/share/smalltalk/kernel/../scripts/Remote.st:275: Error occurred while not in byte code interpreter!!
Aborted

Well, since this isn't a GST mailing list, let's talk about seaside - for starters I just tried to get seaside
running without gst-remote, and this is what I came up with (trying to recreate the simple counter example):

PackageLoader fileInPackage: 'Seaside'.
PackageLoader fileInPackage: 'Seaside-Development'.
PackageLoader fileInPackage: 'Seaside-Examples'.

Seaside.SwazooSeaside startOn: 9999.
