When I set CHICKEN_REPOSITORY, I'm able to install everything into
the path stored there. I'm trying this out with a very new chicken
(4.6.6):

  mkdir ~/tmp/foo
  chicken-install -init ~/tmp/foo
  export CHICKEN_REPOSITORY=/home/felix/tmp/foo
  chicken-install hyde

This should normally work. CHICKEN_INCLUDE_PATH is not needed.
Can you perhaps try a newer chicken version?
