Which tarball did you install from initially? All release tarballs
(4.X.0 versions) do include such a bootstrap compiler. The other
tarballs 4.x.y with y != 0 are developer tarballs that assume you
already have a chicken compiler running. What docs did you come
across when choosing your download tarball? I am asking because
that's where we might need better guidance for newcomers like you.
Thanks for keeping at it and welcome to the chicken community!
Christian
