Thanks Imran, that solves the issue! The sequence I used is:

% mkdir -p /home/jm/.chicken/lib/chicken/5/
% chicken-install -init /home/jm/.chicken/lib/chicken/5
% export CHICKEN_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/jm/.chicken
% export CHICKEN_REPOSITORY="${CHICKEN_INSTALL_PREFIX}/lib/chicken/5"
% chicken-install hyde

And the hyde executable installed to /home/jm/.chicken/bin/hyde just
fine (am using it now). I added those two export settings to my zshrc
as well as adding /home/jm/.chicken/bin to my $PATH.

Oh, and I'll read the manpage more closely next time...
CHICKEN-INSTALL(1) says:

    CHICKEN_INSTALL_PREFIX
        An alternative installation prefix that will be prepended
        to extension installation paths if specified.

Thanks everyone for taking the time to respond,

John
