I get some error in ArchLinux also.

$ chicken-install -u
loading import libraries ...
generating database ...

Error: (open-output-file) cannot open file - Permission denied: "/usr/lib/chicken/11/modules.db"

Is this issue reported to upstream project? Though we could workaround the issue.

On Linux i guess you have to run chicken-install with raised privileges?

This issue seems to be a path relocation issue. For example, chicken-install program searches this file C:\ucrt64\lib\chicken\11\modules.db. The correct path should be C:\msys64\ucrt64\lib\chicken\11\modules.db. Assuming that the msys64 directory is the install directory of msys2. The modules.db is mentioned in some Scheme language files. Sadly, I am not familiar with that programming language. But others may help.
