Comment(by felix):

 This is very strange: I got the same error and was unable to figure out
 what's wrong. After rebuilding with a new `chicken` (I built from the
 4.5.0 tarball and then rebuilt chickan again - the compiler seems to work,
 only chicken-install doesn't) the problem went away. That is, I assume it
 is somehow related to the rebuild.

 Somehow the `load-library` call (which does a dlopen(3)) failed when
 `chicken-install` tried to load the core library `chicken-ffi-syntax`. I
 can not say why it failed.

 I pushed a few changes (master). Can you try again? Can you also try to
 just build/install and then rebuild with the installed `chicken`
 executable (touch *.scm first). Perhaps there is an incompatibility with
 code produced by older chickens.
