Thank you. I've installed ffcall, and the previous error has gone away.
However, there is a new problem:

That's odd. The IUP headers, including iup.h, are all in
/usr/include/iup on my system. I often build programs from source, and
seldom have any missing-header errors for anything in /usr/include. I
wonder if it has something to do with the way I have installed Chicken.
My installation prefix is /opt/chicken; I like to do that with
third-party packages (i.e. those that are not packaged for my
distribution), so I can keep them together in case I want to remove
them. I have been doing this for several versions of Chicken, and have
not had any significant problems with the arrangement, but this is the
first egg I have tried to install with Chicken 4.6.0.
