I'd start by checking for abnormally small (or even empty) .egg-info files in the directories printed by $ csi -p '(begin (import (chicken platform)) (repository-path))' If you find a corrupted file, say for egg foo, just copy any other good .egg-info file over foo.egg-info and reinstall foo with `chicken-install foo'. Once the corrupted files have been fixed, you should be able to install eggs again. All the best. Mario -- http://parenteses.org/mario
