chicken-setup is not meant to work on non-UNIXish systems, it uses
the `posix' unit. You seem not to use cygwin, so the only method
that works, is to extract the files manually (.egg is just .tgz)
and compile by hand, then copy ncurses.dll into your $CHICKEN_HOME
and `(require 'ncurses)' should work, depending on how portable
you ncurses library is.

If you give some more information (what build platform, etc.) I'm
sure we can get this to work.
