Done > E: Version '5.2.0' for 'chicken-bin' was not found If you want to compile CHICKEN from sources, it's a piece of cake on Linux, and doesn't depend on much more than what you'd need to install eggs. You'll need a C toolchain and GNU make. In case that's a viable alternative for you, below is a simple recipe that will install CHICKEN in $HOME/local/chicken-5.2.0 (you can change that, of course). $ wget http://code.call-cc.org/releases/5.2.0/chicken-5.2.0.tar.gz $ tar xzvf chicken-5.2.0.tar.gz $ cd chicken-5.2.0 $ make PLATFORM=linux PREFIX=$HOME/local/chicken-5.2.0 install You can add $HOME/local/chicken-5.2.0/bin to $PATH to execute the CHICKEN tools without providing the path to them. All the best. Mario -- http://parenteses.org/mario
