This needn't be `chicken-install -init ~/tmp/foo/lib/chicken/5` ?
I guess I was thrown off by the above linked thread which stated:

    ~/chicken/lib/chicken/5
    You must also use this longer path for initialization via -init

This doesn't need to be `chicken-install -p /home/felix/tmp/foo hyde` ?

I tried your suggested sequence, things got stuck at the point of:

    rm -fr /var/lib/chicken/5/matchable.so
    cp -r matchable.so /var/lib/chicken/5/matchable.so
    cp: cannot create regular file `/var/lib/chicken/5/matchable.so':
    Permission denied

Then I did:

    # chown -R john:john /var/lib/chicken/5

And now things get stuck at:

    cp: cannot create regular file `/usr/bin/scss2css': Permission denied
    Error: shell command failed with nonzero exit status 256:
    cp -r scss2css /usr/bin/scss2css

I'm running Debian Linux, so I guess that'd be
chicken-boot-4.6.1-linux-x86.bz2
as per http://code.call-cc.org/bootstrap/ ?

Might try that when I have more time...was hoping to be able
to stick with using the Debian package and make that work.

Thanks,

John
