Do you have openssl/rand.h on your system?

If so, the compiler is probably not able to locate it.  You can specify
its location in the CSC_OPTIONS environment variable.  Something like

   CSC_OPTIONS="-I/path/to/openssl/rand.h" chicken-install openssl

(Not sure if Windows' shell allows this command line syntax).

Best wishes.
