Use the -p Option to chicken-install in order to direct it to 
'~/chicken'. However, then the repository will in fact be at

   ~/chicken/lib/chicken/5

You must also use this longer path for initialization via -init.

In order to use the installed eggs it may also be necessary to 
set CHICKEN_INCLUDE_PATH in addition to CHICKEN_REPOSITORY like 
so:

CHICKEN_INCLUDE_PATH="${HOME?}"/chicken/lib/chicken/5';'"${HOME?}"/chicken/share/chicken

The documentation on this is written quite tersely, so I found 
most of this out by trial-and-error. Maybe someone with a real 
clue might comment on it. :-)
