Hello, you are welcome to check the setup script of the IUP egg: The import libraries are all compiled to *.import.so shared objects and the install-extension commands only list those *.import.so files to be installed but for some reason chicken-install decides to reinterpret these commands and installs the *.import.scm files instead. Unfortunately I don't remember in which CHICKEN version this behaviour changed, but I'm sure that chicken-install behaved differently at the time I created the setup script for the IUP egg. I have no idea whether that the change was intentional but since it doesn't really break anything I never found it worth investigating.
