Hi!

The problem is most probably that the utf8 egg tries to install some files
outside of CHICKEN_INSTALL_REPOSITORY, that’s a known issue and it
can’t be fixed with environment variables.

What we usually advise is to have a custom installation of CHICKEN where
it has write access, inside your $HOME for example.

BUT, yesterday evening I updated the utf8 egg so that it doesn’t install
extra files, so if you retry now, it should work.
