Hey David,
You're using version 4 of the compiler, but version 5 of the documentation. You
can tell the latter by looking for the number in the URL.
Thanks for the tip.

The current release of Chicken appears to be 5.1.0:
https://code.call-cc.org/
I do not see a Debian backport:
https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=chicken&searchon=names§ion=all&suite=stretch-backports
Only a Sid package (no thanks; I prefer stability):
https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=chicken&searchon=names&suite=all§ion=all
Does anyone have any experiencing compiling, installing, and running
Chicken 5.1.0 from a source tarball on Debian 9? Can I do this with a
normal user account?
David
