Hi! You can ignore the warning. The native module system of CHICKEN has the notion of "indirect" exports, taken from the original Chez Scheme module system designed by Dybvig + Waddel. For R7RS "define-library" we hack around this by internally exporting everything indirectly, so these indirect exports are not visible, but the exported syntax can still refer to them. We need to disable the warning for "define-library" declarations. Thanks for reporting this issue, it will be taken care of. cheers, felix
