mmh., thanks for the feedback, but the overall result,
even if better than before, it's again quite poor.

when I prepend -C in front of -I

dottie:/tmp/readline.egg.dir root# /usr/local/bin/csc -s -O2 -d0 
readline.scm -C -I/sw/include  -L -lreadline -lncurses

it's right, my libreadline is under /sw/lib, so I try to pass
this directory, too...

dottie:/tmp/readline.egg.dir root# /usr/local/bin/csc -s -O2 -d0 
readline.scm -C -I/sw/include  -L/sw/lib -lreadline -lncurses
csc: invalid option `-/'

oh, no - the same error, let's try the same fix
---
dottie:/tmp/readline.egg.dir root# /usr/local/bin/csc -s -O2 -d0 
readline.scm -C -I/sw/include -C -L/sw/lib -lreadline -lncurses
ld: can't locate file for: -lreadline
*** Shell command terminated with exit status 1: gcc -o readline.so 
readline.o -lchicken -lsrfi-chicken -lstuffed-chicken -fPIC -bundle 
-L/usr/local/lib -lreadline -lncurses -ldl -lm  -ldl
---

Now I need to know how to pass a non-standard link path...

Sorry to bother the ML with these newbie issues, but
I'd like to be able to use the chicken ;-)

Regards, and thanks again for your patience.
