Apparently your libchicken is not in the library path when running
a subprocess from xemacs. You could set LD_LIBRARY_PATH
globally. Also, something like this works in my GNU emacs:

(setenv "LD_LIBRARY_PATH" "...")

(after that running an inferior scheme process seems to pick up the
variable)

Or:

#!/bin/sh
# runcsi
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<path-to-lib> <path-to-csi>

And set scheme-program-name to the name of this script.
