I have a program that uses SRFI-19.  It works fine when compiled on macOS using CHICKEN from brew.  However, when I compile it on Fedora 36 x86_64, when run it issues the following errpr"

When I look, the file /usr/share/chicken/srfi-29-bundles/en/us/utf-8/srfi-19 does not exist. Indeed, the directory /usr/share/chicken/srfi-29-bundles/en/us/utf-8 does not exist. Instead, it's at /usr/share/chicken/srfi-29-bundles/en/srfi-19.  (Which is where the egg's srfi-19.install.sh installs it.)  And it is in the same place on macOS, but I do not get this error there.

Any ideas?

sorry, i do not know why the system error but path makes sense:

when there is something like “LANG=en_US.UTF-8” in the environment the bundle search begins at   “.../en/us/utf-8/srfi-19”, then “.../en/us/srfi-19”, & “.../en/srfi-19”; dropping specifiers in a most to least order. (i'm using macOS with the LANG setting)
