Where EGGS_DIR is the directory where directories containing egg source code can be found and $PREFIX is the CHICKEN installation prefix (what you provided as argument to PREFIX when compiling CHICKEN). If the egg you try to install (or its dependencies) cannot be found in $EGGS_DIR, chicken-install will fall back to the `server' configuration in setup.defaults (which defaults to the primary egg server).
