I'm trying to setup Geiser for chicken but for some reason it won't find the
geiser repl.

I have following in .emacs:
(use-package geiser
  :config
  (setq geiser-chicken-binary "chicken-csi"))

I override the binary as OpenBSD package for chicken has renamed the chicken
binaries. I then installed the srfi-1, srfi-18 and apropos eggs.

Spawning repl from emacs works with "run-geiser" and selecting chicken from the
list. But the weird thing is that once I try to evaluate sexp with "^x^e" in
emacs I get message "No Geiser REPL for this buffer". So it runs the repl but
for some reason Geiser won't find it afterwards.

Any idea how to get Geiser working?
