You can try the `-verbose' option for chicken-install.

Does chicken-install fail on Telebot itself or while installing some of
its dependencies?

For what is worth, I could successfully install Telebot on my system
(Debian 9, x86-64).  I used CHICKEN 5.0.0 and the code from the
make-chicken-5-egg branch of Telebot.

Would you be interested in adding Telebot to the official egg
repository?

All the best.
Mario
