I'm a bit confused, because that tar ball contains a pre-compiled VM,  
no compiling necessary. It does not contain a file called "README"  
either:

If you ran INSTALL from the Squeak-3.7-7 subdirectory, it should have  
copied the VM files to /usr/local:

usr/local/bin/squeak
usr/local/doc/squeak/COPYING
usr/local/doc/squeak/COPYING.gz
usr/local/doc/squeak/COPYRIGHT.gz
usr/local/doc/squeak/LICENSE.gz
usr/local/doc/squeak/README.Contributing.gz
usr/local/doc/squeak/README.Keyboard.gz
usr/local/doc/squeak/README.Sound.gz
usr/local/lib/squeak/3.7-7/npsqueak.so
usr/local/lib/squeak/3.7-7/squeak
usr/local/lib/squeak/3.7-7/Squeak3D
usr/local/lib/squeak/3.7-7/SqueakFFIPrims
usr/local/lib/squeak/3.7-7/vm-display-fbdev
usr/local/lib/squeak/3.7-7/vm-display-null
usr/local/lib/squeak/3.7-7/vm-display-X11
usr/local/lib/squeak/3.7-7/vm-sound-null
usr/local/lib/squeak/3.7-7/vm-sound-OSS
usr/local/lib/squeak/3.7-7/XDisplayControlPlugin
usr/local/lib/squeak/npsqueakregister
usr/local/lib/squeak/npsqueakrun
usr/local/man/man1/inisqueak.1
usr/local/man/man1/squeak.1

Also, the tar ball includes the Smalltalk sources, image, and changes  
files. You should be able to run Squeak like this:

% cd Squeak-3.8-6665-i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.7.7/
% squeak Squeak3.8-6665full.image
