This has worked while installing Chicken itself, with the commands:

   $ make PLATFORM=linux \
       PREFIX=/opt/chicken/5.0.0 LIBDIR=/opt/chicken/5.0.0/lib64
   $ (umask 0 ; sudo make install \
       PLATFORM=linux PREFIX=/opt/chicken/5.0.0 LIBDIR=/opt/chicken/5.0.0/lib64)

and now  "chicken-install" puts the eggs  in "/opt/chicken/5.0.0/lib64".
I see that the documentation on the Wiki for accessing "repository-path"
has been fixed.  Thanks!

  Am I  correct in saying that  the README in Chicken's  distribution is
missing  a  note saying  that  we  should  *not* "strip"  the  installed
binaries?  If I strip them I get errors later when installing eggs.
