[Chicken-users] Chicken 4.10.0 and 4.10.1 - 'check' fails

[Claude Marinier]

Hi,

I installed Ubuntu 16.04 beta, 64-bit edition. I am not able to build
chicken : the make fails during the check. Results appear to be
identical with both 4.10.0 and 4.10.1. The command and the last part
of the output are at the end of this message.

Here is the offending code.

    (print "\nEmbedded NUL bytes in filenames are rejected\n")
    (assert-error (with-output-to-file "embedded\x00null-byte" void))

What is going on?

Why did this work before?

Thanks.
