Hey Razvan, I think the problem is that install-program needs .so's that under /usr (and after setting CHICKEN_REPOSITORY, they are no longer in the searched paths).
Doing 'chicken-install -i /path/to/user/owned/dir' should make the directory and copy the necessary files (but, I think you need to this _before_ setting CHICKEN_REPOSITORY) If you're doing a local, non-root location for egg installation, also look into CHICKEN_INSTALL_PREFIX (for when the egg installs binaries) and CHICKEN_DOC_REPOSITORY (which needs to be initiated, but I think that's in the wiki) For example, my .zshrc has export CHICKEN_INSTALL_PREFIX=${HOME}/.local/ export CHICKEN_REPOSITORY=${CHICKEN_INSTALL_PREFIX}/lib/chicken/6/ export CHICKEN_DOC_REPOSITORY=${HOME}/.local/share/chicken/doc/ Hope this helps (it's been a while since I had to set this up). tincman On Sat, 20 Oct 2012 11:00:17 +0300 Răzvan Rotaru <razvan.rot...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I have chicken 4.7.0 installed with apt-get on Ubuntu, and have problems > running chicken-install for some eggs as non root user.
